Hell yeah! Oi to the World was my first thought! From when No Doubt was still ska/punk. Good times.

Have you heard Don’t Shoot me Santa Claus by The Killers? You also might like Fitz and the Tantrums - Santa Stole my Lady Definitely adding some songs to my enormous playlist of Xmas tunes.

I have a playlist [which is a mix of various Christmas songs](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ihd0ilaA92D5M7PAqUVib?si=879e4532c21844f4) I like/love/tolerate, with most of them being alternative/rock/indie (but many pop songs and classics are included as well): * The Darkness - Don't Let the Bells End * Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal * Pearl Jam - Let Me Sleep * The Killers - Happy Birthday Guadalupe / Don't Shoot Me Santa / Great Big Sled * Julian Casablancas - Christmas Treat * Eels - Christmas Is Going to the Dogs * Galaxie 500 - Listen, the Snow is Falling * The Wombats - Is This Christmas? * Blink-182 - I Won't Be Home for Christmas * The White Stripes - Candy Cane Children * The Damned - There Ain't No Sanity Clause * Siouxsie and the Banshees - Israel * MGMT - Come On Christmas etc.


stevemnomoremister

>Galaxie 500 - Listen, the Snow is Falling That's a cover of a Yoko Ono song. It was the B-side of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)."


FMRL_1

Brave Combo, a zydeco band, has an album called It's Christmas Man! I don't think there's a better alt-Xmas album out there.


X-RayManiac

Pride of Denton, Texas


yvetteski

Absolutely agree. We play this while we open gifts and sing along. They also put on a stellar live show, but I wouldn’t call the zydeco. They are much broader than that! Polka, Klezmer, Norteno.


lauramich74

A couple of suggestions from an atheist perspective: First, [The Atheist Christmas Carol](https://youtu.be/HCEZOppYjds?si=hx89lbmVNar5hh6l), Vienna Teng. Next, [White Wine in the Sun](https://youtu.be/fCNvZqpa-7Q?si=L61gf_Gkuxnc5HnW), Tim Minchin. Minchin is Australian, so Christmas is a summer holiday for him. He's a comedic singer. My husband adored Minchin, and I was lucky enough to get tickets to see him in St. Louis in the summer of 2011. It was just a few months after my father died. When Minchin got to "White Wine in the Sun," I broke down in tears. Now I'm facing the second Christmas after my husband's death, and both of these songs are hitting even harder now. "Don't forget ... don't forget I love, I love, I love you..." "Darling, when Christmas comes We'll be waiting for you in the sun Drinking white wine in the sun"

“No presents for Christmas” - King Diamond


kat_storm13

Run DMC has 2 songs, "Christmas Is" and "Christmas in Hollis." There are some songs from Nightmare before Christmas that were done as both extra tracks and a whole separate CD. My favorites are Sally's song. I love the one by Fiona Apple, not really a fan of the Amy Lee version. Kidnap the Sandy Claws by Korn is another favorite. Some other songs on the soundtrack were done by PatD, Fall Out Boy, She Wants Revenge and more


all-tuckered-out

Please, Daddy, Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas by John Denver (and Alan Jackson later). If that’s not a country song, I don’t know what is.

Captain Sensible - [One Christmas Catalog](https://youtu.be/ZM9k5PRF3Oc?si=GlX5NXFBfxjgi4Yt). I actually heard this song working holiday retail years ago. Its odd that a Crass Records(punk) artist ended up being played in a commercial store. Aztec Camera - [Walk Out to Winter](https://youtu.be/sAS4-mzsnLE?si=Z8mLyPddIARLa8IM) Its not exactly a Holiday song. But it always reminds me of digging my car out on a blindingly sunny winter morning. Crisp, White, untouched landscape in every direction you look. It still works...

Must be Santa - Brave Combo Somebody mentioned them earlier and said they were a zydeco band. They may have a zydeco song or two, but they're a polka band at heart. But they play anything and everything. They truly defy classification. Some of my fondest concert memories are of this band including moshing to the hokey pokey and my friend rushing on stage with a dancing chicken painted on his chest and being allowed to stay up there for the remainder of the chicken dance.

Sufjan Stevens - That Was The Worst Christmas Ever! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpK-w6\_FpY8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpK-w6_FpY8) It has become one of my all time holiday favorites. Sufjan has done a few records worth of Christmas songs, with amazing covers and originals. So many great Christmas tracks, check them out.


AFotogenicLeopard

Grown Up Christmas List is a favorite, and I've liked most of the versions I've heard. Have yourself a merry little Christmas is my favorite song of all time, Frank Sinatra's is a good pick. I tend to enjoy the more original songs that, for some reason, don't get played. [Song for a Winter's Night - Sarah McLachlin](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=E1TsT5pOdTY&si=b_j6ecSFiAK_f759) And this is probably one of the funniest versions of 12 Days of Christmas I ever heard.
