How about Straight No Chaser’s “Text Me Merry Christmas”? It’s on Spotify. I’ll come back later when I decide on two more - this is kind of hard! ---

“Alone on Christmas” by Quiet Company “White Wine in the Sun” by Tim Minchin “What Christmas Means to Me” by Quiet Company Honorable Mention: “Merry Christmas, The President is Terrible” by Quiet Company. It’s from 2019, so I’m amused by the optimism of lyrics “It’s been a bad year, but it’s over now.” ---

_The Cherry Tree Carol_ by Inner Voices (feat. Al Jarreau) _Caroling, Caroling_ by the Singers Unlimited _Deck Us All With Boston Charlie_ by Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross Just so we’re clear, is this going to be an actual playlist, such that if I sign up for Spotify, I can search for it and listen to it? ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Just so we’re clear, is this going to be an actual playlist, such that if I sign up for Spotify, I can search for it and listen to it? It’s already there. See the link in the OP. I was going to recommend some Mitch Benn but most of his best Christmas songs aren’t on Spotify (although you can listen to “Christmas Single” - yes, that’s the name of it). ---
