21. Silversun Pickups - Just Like Christmas
Nice cover, a quote from the band will do the song more justice than I can do though... "We’ve been fans of Low’s beautiful music for a long time now. When we heard the news about Mimi’s passing, we were incredibly sad. With Alan’s blessing, we decided to cover one of their Christmas songs, with hopes of raising money for a cause dear to Alan in Mimi’s name. Low’s Christmas is a classic. It was the first one I ever heard that made me feel holiday music could be cool."
We’re pleased to share that our cover of Low’s “Just Like Christmas”

17. We Are The Union - Yr Always Alone (On Christmas)
This one is a fairly cynical take on loneliness in the guise of a Christmas song but the ska punk sound + Christmas song is always a winner for me
