I've been listening to a ton of classic xmas albums lately, and want some more to add to my xmas playlist.

Thx in advance.

Sorry. I can't.

I abhor Christmas and it's music, but even I like Mannheim Steamroller's synthy Christmas album

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

Oooh yeah that's a good one.

I'm not Christian/religious at all, but I still have a very deep nostalgia for classic Christmas hymns like Silent Night, O Holy Night, etc. I remember sitting beside my tree as a child listening to our music lights playing midis of all of them. The lyrics can be discarded entirely.

Christmas Wrap by the Waitresses.

I'll be mainstream and I'll say:

Underneath the tree by Kelly Clarkson

But I'd like to mention:

  • Last Christmas by wham
  • War is over by John Lennon and yoko Ono
  • I'll be home for Christmas sung by Tate McRae. Unfortunately that one seems like an apple music exclusive. I think it's a nice cover though

You could also try Jingle bells, even though it's not quite as elegant.

Somehow I've never heard this one until today, and I loved it. It really is a beautiful song, and I'm not even religious

Harry Belafonte did a good amount of xmas songs, all of them great.
