Day 2 - this is one of my favourites, it's not the most Christmassy Christmas record ever but it's gorgeous.

The Hives & Cyndi Lauper - A Christmas Duel Sounds intriguing, if only you'd posted a youtube link... I was listening to that Blink182 song earlier while trying to find a song for Xmasvision

I like to include a bit of traditional stuff in my Christmas playlist. O Little Town Of Bethlehem is my favourite carol, the words are just lovely, and this version by Kate Rusby is wonderful.

I always try to find a way to shoehorn Bob Dylan into all of my playlists, but this one needs no apologies, it's an uproarious festive classic. My kids love it!

The Pretenders - 2000 Miles Yeah it's a bit sappy but I love everything about it, the fade-in, that main riff and the way she sings 'it felt like Christmas time'. Just love it. Unironically my favourite Pretenders song. I recently got the 7 inch single of this, with picture sleeve also, 40 years old still in good condition.

Have been trying to think of more to nominate which is tricky as I don't really like a lot of non-traditional Christmas music But then I remembered this, which I used in Xmasvision years ago. It's a brilliant little song with a bit of a spooky twist on Christmas. Think you might like it. Happy Fangs - All I Want For Christmas Is Halloween

Joan Regan's version of "Must Be Santa" is my 2nd favourite Christmas song.

I'd just like to say that my faves that will be on my list every Christmas from now on, are Nina Nesbitt - That'll be Christmas, Brenda Lee - Christmas will be lonely without you and Smith & Burrows - When the Thames froze, and I never realised it was the lead singer of the Editors on the vocals! Doh! Ed and Elton is a modern day classic as well! Deacon Blue - You'll know it's Christmas is rather good as well.

I forgot to carry on suggesting things here! Glad Smith & Burrows made the cut though, it’s a wonderful track. Thanks to this thread I discovered Home For The Holidays by Tim Wheeler & Emmy The Great, that’s now a permanent fixture on my playlist. Thank you 🙂
