Looking to expand my awareness of somewhat modern Christmas Music. Favorite originals? Best cover songs?

I'm getting a bit tired of hearing the same 30 Christmas songs over and over again on the radio, so I thought this might make a fun thread for the holidays. I'm sure there are some great original songs and covers by somewhat more recent artists from the 90s and 2000s, but as much as I love Brenda Lee, I think I know most Christmas songs from the 50s and 60s. The newer tracks don't really gather as much attention, so maybe we can change that.

Please don't embed you tube videos, though. It tends to break the forum. Of course, links are very appreciated.

Low - Just Like Christmas

Fiona Apple - Please Come Home for Christmas

Dave Matthews Band - Christmas Song

Sarah McLachlan - O Holy Night

Aimee Mann and Michael Penn - Christmastime

And I know I said modern, but I just can't help but include this. I never hear it anywhere, and it's one of the best Christmas novelty songs ever.

Brenda Lee - I'm Going to Lasso Santa Claus

I kinda am a bit off the rails when it comes to Christmas music, so here are a few heavier/darker takes on Christmas music.

August Burns Red - Sleddin' Hill (Album)

Project 86 - A Very Project 86 Christmas (Album)

MxPx - Christmas Night of the Living Dead (Song)

Carly Rae Jepsen - Last Christmas

Slick neon cover.

Tahir - Holiday Pay

Not really a cover - but a great festive christmas song.

This song is super played out but I still like it

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

Squirrel Nut Zippers - Christmas Caravan is new-ish, but very old style. Anyhow, it's great.

@spaceinsomniac: Christmas - Boardwalkaudio

Mariah Carey all day.

Big Freedia just came out with a red-hot Christmas banger.

Ying Yang Twins - Deck da Club.

All I Want For Christmas is MIDI

The Killers were trying to keep a spree up of releasing a new xmas song each year. Seems like they are doing a pretty good job.

The Killers - A Great Big Sled

The Killers - Don't Shoot Me Santa

The Killers feat Elton John & Neil Tennant - Joseph, Better You Than Me

The Killers - Happy Birthday Guadalupe! feat. Wild Light, Mariachi El Bronx

The Killers - Boots

The Killers - The Cowboy's Christmas Ball

The Killers - I Feel It In My Bones

The Killers feat Dawes - Christmas in L.A.

The Killers feat. Jimmy Kimmel - Joel, The Lump of Coal

The Killers feat. Richard Dreyfuss - Dirt Sledding

The Killers feat. Ned Humphrey Hansen - I'll Be Home For Christmas (intro stops at 3:20)

well that's a lot of The Killers. Joseph Better You Than Me, A Great Big Sled and I Feel It In My Bones are probably the standout tracks.

Let's end this with The Darkness.

The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)

Fairytale of New York by the Pogues

Yes it's almost 30 years old this point but it's the best Christmas song and doesn't get any play in the states

3 albums I go to. All of them have originals and covers mixed-in.

Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings - It's a Holiday Soul Party

Barenaked Ladies - Barenaked for the Holidays

Jack Johnson and others on his label - This Warm December: A Brushfire Holiday Volume 1 & Volume 2.

I just want to second and third this August Burns Red suggestion.
