"If we make it through December" by The Hag.

Dwight Yoakam Silver Bells
Leanne Rimes and Aloe Blacc That's Spirit of Christmas

Also… this is very different and not for most, but I love the Michael Martin Murphy Christmas album. It's a very Western/Cowboy sound but I like it and it was a favorite of my dad's so it's a lot of nostalgia.

Lots of nice ones above...

Just a few of my favorites...

Let it Be Christmas - Alan Jackson
Once Upon a Christmas - Dolly and Kenny
A Baby Changes Everything - Faith Hill
Peace Shall Come - Hayley Westenra
Christmas is Coming - Jason Gray
Wishing for This - Leigh Nash
Glory (Let There Be Peace) - Matt Maher
Christmas Coming - Nashville Cast
Christmas this Year - tobyMac & Leigh Nash
Greatest Time of Year - Aly & AJ (guilty pleasure)

FIFY

This one was new to me last year:

Every track on The Brian Setzer Orchestra "Christmas Rocks" album is fun. Some of the others in my Christmas jazz and Big Band playlists:

We Three Kings - Rev Horton Heat
We Three Kings - Pink Martini
Jingle Bells - Brad Paisley
Greensleeves - The Vince Guaraldi Trio
Thanksgiving Theme - The Vince Guaraldi Trio
Skating - The Vince Guaraldi Trio
The Toy Trumpet - Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops
Sleigh Ride - Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops (this is the definitive recording)
O'Tannenbaum - Gregg Bisonette
All I Want for Christmas - Bria Skonberg
Mr. Heatmiser - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Winter Wonderland - Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra
Ding Dong Merrily On High - The George Shearing Quintet

The entire Reverend Horton Heat Christmas album, We Three Kings, is the answer you seek.

Hadn't read page 2, nailed it on your first take.

Mannheim Steamroller.


It's all you need,

August Burns Red has a badass original instrumental - Winter Wilderness. Metal but Christmas'y.

Guessing that's a cover of the Clarence Carter song?

James Brown - Let's Make Christmas Mean Something This Year

For me, all I need is Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby. Everything else is just filler until we get back to more Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby.

Has "Linus and Lucy" not been mentioned yet? Come on y'all.

Great boozy jazz vibe to this one.

Years ago this tune introduced me to Fitz and the Tantrums. Cool band with a great sound to their eariler stuff. Anyway, fun Christmas song.

My personal, highly-curated, always-requested Christmas party playlist...

That said, I'm definitely seeing a few from the thread I need to add.

Nobody raised in the 90s can leave these off their playlist:

I Believe In Father Christmas - Greg Lake/Emerson, Lake & Palmer
This is probably my most favorite Christmas song.
"Hallelujah, Noel, be it Heaven or Hell, for Christmas we get, we deserve.
