Barenaked For The Holidays has some great tracks but Elf’s Lament is my favorite since it’s a cynical take on the commercialism of Christmas. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=M4dxqHmhLaE
- Stan Rogers - First Christmas
- Tim Minchin - White Wine in the Sun

I’ve been listening to this Spotify playlist called Christmas Rave Music 2024
Sarah McLachlan’s album Wintersong is one of my go-tos
Thank you for recommending this! I’ve always liked her song on the Barenaked Ladies Christmas album. Wintersong now has a permanent spot in my Christmas rotation for a relaxing listen.
Just listened to that album, thanks for the rec! I don’t have many Christmas songs in that style, so it’s good to expand my options.
If you liked Wintersong there’s a chance you may also like Christmas Day by Dido
The film score from Die Hard.
I am of the opinion that Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
