MARIAH, IS THAT YOU?

There are the classics we all know – from “O Come, All Ye Faithful” to Wham’s “Last Christmas.” And then there are the countless funny and wonderfully crazy covers and new creations. So enjoy listening to our personal favorites!

TO WARM UP
EMPTY SACK
In 1965, proto-punk band The Sonics sang with delightful irony about the tragic situation that arises when expectations are high but Santa Claus fails to deliver.

HOLY HIP-HOP
“It’s like that” by Run-D.M.C. is a hiphop classic. Although you may not expect a Christmas song to come from the band, “Christmas in Hollis” is actually incredibly catchy.

AFTER A GLASS OR TWO
NAUGHTY MARIAH
Drag queen Trixie Mattel gives the diva’s classic a humorous, decidedly adult twist with “All I Want for Christmas is nudes.”

TOGETHERNESS COUNTS
Whether family by blood or by choice, traditional or otherwise – what matters is celebrating together. Sia brings a touch of punky pirate energy under the tree with “Hohoho.”

WHEN ANYTHING GOES
SUGAR PLUM FAIRY IN DA HOUSE
Betty Boom and Captain Matt turn the Nutcracker and the “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” into a cool club version. Dancefloor alert!

CINDERELLA ON SPEED
“Three hazelnuts for Cinderella” meets techno in the version by Jaques Raupé and Felix Harrer. Childhood film nostalgia, reimagined. Just let go.
