After years of retail I'm an absolute grinch for most Christmas music that plays on the radio, but I still really enjoy just about all the hymns and church music despite not being religious whatsoever

Same. Gloria In Excelsis Deo rips

Great pick! Just belting it at the top of my lungs, despite zero singing ability, so satisfying

[–] znonymous@hexbear.net 1 points 5 days ago

Killer hymn.

Handles Messiah - yes please.

Theme from Jul i Svingen

Jul i Svingen was one of NRK's "advent calendar shows", i.e. an episode a day from December 1st to December 24th. I think "advent calendar shows" are actually a phenomenon largely unique to TV in the Nordic countries, with limited success in Germany and the Netherlands as well.

In any case I never actually watched Jul i Svingen myself, but the song is generally very popular for Christmas playlists in Norway. So it's sort of a cultural osmosis thing for me. The song blends folk music elements like the fiddle, with more Christmas-y sounds like jingle bells, with more modern elements, and all of these elements come together to create a very unique and cozy vibe I think.

Mi burrito sabanero! It's so catchy that I don't mind having heard it a million times by now.

We Three Kings, but only if it has a rap section shoehorned in (Beach Boys and The Roches both have pretty good versions as well)

Also this Wynton Marsalis version: https://youtu.be/FomP2m8DPG8

There are so many good Christmas songs. Like a Gift From God or Whatever by Chris Farren is an entire album of original Christmas bangers.
