While I don’t hate the standard lineup of holiday music, I always appreciate variety. All I know of is “Punk Goes Christmas” and maybe a handful of singles from over the years. Anyone have anything they know of to suggest? Would prefer originals and not just covers of the classics, but that’s not a hard rule or anything.

Also, if possible, bandcamp links would be appreciated. With the upcoming bandcamp friday, it’d be nice to have some good bands to support.

Not sure how this came to be but my family has had this record as our Christmas music for many years:

Misa Criolla - Misa Flamenca (youtube playlist)

And here it is on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5GTrSPIMJkzqRrAhljPUGq?si=qXWUlixhRPuOljEZ7ooT3Q

We’re a Swedish family, atheists, with no connection to anything about this music. I think my mom heard it from a friend of the family several decades ago and it somehow stuck with us as our Christmas music.
