Wrapping up Santapalooza 2024 with our picks for the best new Christmas songs of the year! It was a banger of a year, and we can't wait to hear what's in store for Christmas 2025! We'll be back here - and only here - on November 21, 2025. Stay strong in 2025 and, as always, #FuckTrump #FuckElon.

Tired of Wham! and Mariah Carey? Jim Goodwin of the Christmas Underground blog returns with 2024’s indie rock Christmas mix, this year titled "Late Deliveries." It features mainly obscure indie rock holiday songs. www.undertheradarmag.com/news/listen_...

Just to warn you, I wrote this at 11pm after a few beers. I'm not sure it totally makes sense but please read it, if only because I managed to reference @knpknpknpknp.bsky.social, Beta Radio and The Cheeky Girls!

Hear the Best New Canadian Holiday Music: Tim Baker, Vanille, the Zolas, Jessie Reyez

🎄🎁 DECEMBER 25 @ 7pm with @angeli.ca on @cjlo.com! 🎄🎁

Big shout out to @exclaimdotca.bsky.social for including me once again on their holid-eh list! exclaim.ca/music/articl...

You heard the man! Check out my favourite Christmas artists newest album. (Seriously, @winterval.bsky.social is the best)

Big ups to James @xmasunderground.bsky.social, without his site, our funny little indie Christmas scene wouldn’t be what it is. Thanks for the review, friend!

Hey pals! My 16th original #christmasmusic album is out! Available to stream, and via Bandcamp if you're feeling generous. Sharing it is the most helpful to folks like me, so if you dig it, please consider adding it to your playlists! #indiechristmas #originalchristmasmusic linktr.ee/akkc

A new #christmas mix because Belle & Sebastian haven't stopped making records, and I haven't run out of records to slap my santa face on. ENJOY! Christmas Mix 2024: Late Deliveries christmasunderground.com/2024/12/12/c...

If anyone needs a full day of swell indie Christmas songs, @xmasunderground.bsky.social is your guy!

Slightly delayed but you can totally make up for lost time by pre-saving my new album, Sauliday Party! As little as it pays, streaming can mean so much, I hope you consider making me part of your Christmas this year distrokid.com/hyperfollow/... #christmasmusic #indiechristmasmusic

Thank you so much for the lovely review, Christmas a what what! <33
