Holiday Songs

Hey everybody, on AP.net there used to be an annual list of holiday songs by bands from the scene, either covers or originals. With the time of holidays upon us, I figured we could start something like that up again. Feel free to post various Christmas and holiday songs you guys have accrued over the years, as well any new ones that come out. I'll do my best to get them all on the OP as a list and hopefully get a Spotify/Apple Music playlist going.

I'll start us off with some, please give me some more:

Valencia - "Father Christmas"
Jimmy Eat World - "Last Christmas"
Blink 182 - "I Won't Be Home For Christmas"
Blink 182 - "Happy Holidays You Bastards"
Fall Out Boy - "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out"
All Time Low - "Merry Christmas Kiss My Ass"
My Chemical Romance - "All I Want For Christmas Is You"
A Day To Remember - "Right Where You Want Me To Be"
The Wonder Years - "Christmas At 22"
Man Overboard - "Decemberism"
Good Charlotte - "Christmas By The Phone"
The Used - "Alone This Holiday"
MxPx - "Punk Rawk Christmas"
MxPx - "Christmas Night Of The Living Dead"
Simple Plan - "Christmas List"
No Doubt - "Oi To The World"
Fountains Of Wayne "I Want An Alien For Christmas"
The Ramones - "Merry Christmas"
Set Your Goals - "Reset (Holiday Version)"
Something Corporate - "Forget December"
Gatsby's American Dream - "Christmas Time Is Here"
Matchbook Romance - "I'll Be Home For Christmas"
Acceptance - "Happy XMas (War Is Over)"
Punchline - "Icicles"
Saosin - "Mookie's Last Christmas"
The Format - "Holly Jolly Christmas"

Hot Rod Circuit - "Happy XMas (War Is Over)"

Feel like this is probably worth bumping and pinning for the next couple of months.

 

All Time Low - Fool’s Holiday
Bayside - Angels We Have Heard On High

 

Aaron Gillespie's & Kenny Vasoli's song is one that I usually play to death every year

 

My faves from last year:

 

Ooh wait, forgot the best one:

 

Jack’s Mannequin - The Lights and Buzz
Frightened Rabbit - It’s Christmas So We’ll Stop
Frightened Rabbit - She Screams Christmas
Death Cab for Cutie - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
The Maine - Ho Ho Hopefully
Phoenix - Alone on Christmas Day
Slow Club - Christmas TV

 

Usually I don't like to think about these things before Thanksgiving...but all of my Christmas music is on my old Macbook and I haven't switched it over yet.

Here are a few that come to mind immediately for me:

Sleigh Ride - fun.
What Are You Doing New Year's Eve - Andrew McMahon
Every single Relient K Christmas song
The August Burns Red Christmas catalog of songs
All I Want For Christmas Is You - My Chemical Romance
White Christmas - Bad Religion
The entire Bright Eyes Christmas album
O Holy Night - Go Radio
12 Days of Christmas - Taking Back Sunday
Chris Farren's Like a Gift from God or Whatever
Little Drummer Boy - The Almost (a personal favorite)

 

Here’s a Christmas playlist I made last year

 

@Dog with a Blog

 

Ones that haven’t been mentioned that I like:

The Almost - Little Drunmer Boy
Anberlin- Baby Please Come Home
John Lennon- War Is Over

The She & Him Christmas Record too

 

There's a four-way emo Christmas split done a few years ago. I haven't listened to it yet, but it's a thing:

You Blew It! - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
Dikembe - All I Want for Christmas is You
Have Mercy - Deck the Halls
Kittyhawk - Silver Bells

Also, this is a classic:

 

Old 97s just released a Christmas album of 9 originals and 4 traditionals. Of course I haven't listened yet because it isn't Christmas season

 

obviously looking forward to listening to Kacey Musgraves' A Very Kacey Christmas again as well

 

I got Hanson’s album Snowed In last week on vinyl and I have never been so pumped to start listening to Christmas music!

 

Perhaps my favorite holiday album of the current millennium.

 

These are three of my favorites:

 

That 12:25 vid is also Winter Means Nothing

 

Been listening to Dude York's Christmas album since the first of the month.

 

Does anyone have The Maine - And A Happy New Year EP? You can’t buy or stream it all all in the UK any more.

 

Best Christmas song ever.

 

I used to post either of these on Facebook every Christmas as a running joke just to aggravate people.
