Cool Christmas Music Of The Week: #MusicMonday

We’ve all got our favourite Christmas songs but why is it that all the best ones were released yonks ago? Thankfully, the trend for covering all those epic retro classics seems to be on the up. Woop! You do need to know where to find them though, so I've pulled together five of the best to get you feeling all festive...

She & Him – Christmas Day

We’re used to seeing Zooey Deschanel as the cutesy and quirky Jess in New Girl but it turns out she’s just as adorable when she lends her voice to a Christmas classic.

Maccabees – Walking In The Air

When I think back to Christmases as a kid, watching The Snowman and singing along to Walking In The Air features right up there with visiting Santa in his grotto (mysteriously based, not in the North Pole, but in a slightly shabby garden centre). This version by Maccabees brings the theme right up to date.

Peace – Last Christmas

Peace’s album 'In Love' was pretty much the soundtrack to my summer and now they’ve added their summery hipster vibes to everyone’s favourite seasonal sing-a-long.

Slow Club – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

These guys know a thing or two about creating awesome Christmas tunes (they released an EP full of them a few years ago). This is one the whole family can sing along to, just make sure you play it loud for maximum festiveness. 

Paper Aeroplanes – In the Bleak Midwinter

Every year, fab folk blog For Folks Sake brings out a compilation packed full of their favourite artists singing about Christmas. Here, Welsh duo Paper Aeroplanes gives the alt folk treatment to tradish carol In The Bleak Midwinter.
