Best 'alternative' Christmas songs?

Submitted by sloth_of_a_bitch t3_zgs4br in Music

Sorry if it's been asked a million times! I'm updating my playlist.

I really love A Christmas Duel (The hives and Cyndi Lauper).

Fuck Christmas by Eric Idle and Won't be home for Christmas by Blink-182 is a bit of childish fun.

There's a lot more but I am interested in hearing which one's other people like.

There's a version of "O Come All Ye Faithful" done by a folk musician named Kevin Connolly in the mid 1990's for an album called "Snow Angels". The music is nothing like what you might have heard in church. It isn't really Alt, it's just super cool.

You can likely find it if you use a file sharing service. It isn't on youtube.

I really love the one from 21pilots - Christmas saves the year - it's super warm, like you drink a cup of a mulled wine near the fireplace
