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
- Paul Kelly - How to Make Gravy

She has a lot of great stuff with a rare instrument, she’s also in a pirate-metal band playing it

All I can give you by Jason Lancaster
I’m a simple man. I see JoCo, I upvote.
Look for wassailing music. It’s old caroling music that tends german, and can be a nice change of pace.
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.
Glad you enjoyed it! And I just listened to the barenaked ladies christmas 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
Fairytale of New York
The film score from Die Hard.
