Christmas is a time of joy and giving for many people all over the world. While there are classic Christmas tracks that are must-listens around the holiday season, we wanted to shed light on more unique Christmas songs from different genres beyond classical music and the pop hits. There’s a song for almost everyone on this list. Whether you’re a rock, country, rap, punk or a "whatever" fan, there’s something here for you! If you’re looking for a different playlist with more genre diversity beyond Mariah Carey belting out “All I Want for Christmas is, You” then look no further!
We put a few of our favorites in here, (with YouTube links for any non-Spotify users) but check out the end of the article for the link to the full Spotify playlist!
Dolly Parton – Hard Candy Christmas | Genre: Country |
August Burns Red - Home Alone Theme | Genre: Metal |
Note: Despite this being in the metal genre, it’s an instrumental and super cool, so it’s only metal because of the instrumentation. It’s one of my all-time favorites.
Wham! - Last Christmas | Genre: Pop |
Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg – Santa Goes Straight to the Ghetto | Genre: Rap |
Note: Content warning for profanities!
The Ramones – Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight) | Genre: Punk Rock |
All Time Low - Merry Christmas (Kiss My A**) | Genre: Alternative Rock |
Muppet Christmas Carol – One More Sleep Til Christmas | Genre: Musical Theatre |
Jarrod Allonge – 12 Days of Pop-Punk Christmas | Genre: Pop Punk (obviously 😀) |
Run DMC – Christmas in Hollis | Genre: Hip Hop |
Note: Skip to one minute to get to the song.
“Weird Al” Yankovic – Christmas at Ground Zero | Genre: Comedy Pop |
Ice Nine Kills - Merry Axe-Mas | Genre: Metalcore |
Fun fact: this song is inspired by a Christmas horror movie called Silent Night, Deadly Night.
The Beach Boys – We Three Kings | Genre: Surf Pop/Rock |
The Pogues – Fairytale of New York | Genre: Celtic Punk |
Wednesday 13 – Buried by Christmas | Genre: Horror Punk/Metal |
Owl City - Kiss Me Babe, It’s Christmas Time | Genre: Electronica |
Bad Religion – White Christmas | Genre: Punk |
AC/DC - Mistress for Christmas| Genre: Classic Rock |
