By new I mean original songs, not covers of older standards.
I like the Vulfpeck track Christmas in LA. Technically it may be a cover, but I haven’t heard the original.
Sorry I had to post the absolute best one. Even if you don’t like Marvel, the song about Santa by an alien who only has third hand information on him is absolutely hilarious and wonderful.
You may like a song I co-wrote in an old band as a joke a few years back. We didn’t do anything with it really, but it eventually got played on local radio (once) which was quite nice.
More than a little older than 5 years, but this is probably my favorite “new” Christmas song.
This is a fun jam:
You know, I’m not a huge Billie Eilish fan, but when she performed the Christmas episode on SNL last year I fell in love with her Christmas renditions.
Also love Haley Reinhart’s rendition of Santa Baby. Very jazzy and fun.
I really enjoy the ethereal aspect she adds to her music.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I quite like Merry Christmas by Ed Sheeran and Elton John
Yeah, that was the only new Christmas song I could come up with.
Reyna - Does Mrs Claus Do That?

Just a heads up, the creator of the Obscurest Vinyl AI music channel is half crazy, but in a really good funny way!
Seasons Greetings in the Abyss by Sleigher
A Yuletide reinterpretation of the Slayer classic, Seasons in the Abyss. Featuring members of Haken, Protest the Hero and Dream Theater.
It’s not quite what you asked for as it’s not an entirely new song, they add plenty of flourishes to it and entirely new lyrics, plus it’s just so silly and fun
Looking forward to listening to all of these suggestions 🙌🏼☃️
I’ve gotta throw J. Roddy Walston’s “Is it Christmas Tonight?” in the mix. It’s pretty catchy.
My joke suggestion is Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande. Mostly because it gives Santa very interesting Christmas themed powers of mind reading and divination.
But I really enjoyed Sia’s Everyday is Christmas album which is now on regular rotation this season. They are all new Christmas songs and got some bangers.
The grammar policeman in my head is angry that nobody corrected the title. “Every Day”
