If the
thought of hearing the Beach Boys’ “Little Saint Nick” one more
time turns you into the Grinch, we’ve got a playlist for you!
Christmas songs can be awesome when your favorite bands and singers
are the ones performing, so check out these tunes for a fresh take on
holiday classics.
“Baby,
It’s Cold Outside,” She & Him
We
all love Zooey Deschanel for being too adorable for words, and her
singing is no less amazing than her acting. This song captures all of
the quirkiness of She & Him and is more fun than most of the
other tracks on A
Very She & Him Christmas.
It’s great for singing along with your friends!
“Greatest
Time of Year,” Aly & AJ
Their
band name changed to 78Violet, but the Michalka sisters’ older
songs are as awesome as their new releases. This song is about winter
in general, not any specific holiday. It will have you dancing around
and wishing for snow.
“Beautiful
Christmas,” Big Time Rush
We
love Big Time Rush’s new CD Elevate,
but we’re also huge fans of their holiday episode with GL
cover girl Miranda Cosgrove and their holiday songs.
“All
My Bells are Ringing,” Lenka
This
sugary-sweet pop song will have you searching out a cutie to kiss
under the mistletoe at the next holiday party.
“We
Wish You a Merry Christmas,” Weezer
This
definitely isn’t the carolers’ version—with electric guitars,
Weezer’s Christmas album will have you head-banging.
“Santa
Claus Lane,” Hilary Duff
Even
though she’s not singing anymore (at the moment!), we’re huge
fans of Hil’s Christmas album, and this song is a Disney Channel
classic.
“Christmas
Must Be Something More,” Taylor Swift
One
of Taylor’s earlier releases, this song takes us back to her
country roots. It’s also a song she wrote herself and has her
signature style.

holiday songs are you loving this season? Blog about it, babes.
