If all you want for Christmas is some new holiday songs, help is here. This year has seen the release of dozens of fresh new tunes for the season ― including some that just might stick around and enter the holiday rotation every year.
R&B singer and songwriter Alicia Keys is out with her first-ever holiday effort, “Santa Baby,” released on Apple Music. And while the title track is her take on the Eartha Kitt classic, the album also shows off her songwriting skills with multiple originals, including “December Back 2 June”:
1980s pop icon Debbie Gibson released the original track “Christmas Star” last year. Now, she’s back with an entire album of holiday tunes ― including “Heartbreak Holiday,” a duet with Joey McIntyre of New Kids on the Block:
Retro rocker Chris Isaak dropped his newest holiday album, “Everybody Knows It’s Christmas,” which pays tribute to the sound of the legendary Sun Records, the studio that birthed Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and more.
The disc is a mix of covers and originals, including “Almost Christmas,” a new track about some last-minute holiday panic:

Indie/Christian rockers Switchfoot show off the band’s harmonies in “California Christmas” from their new disc, “This Is Our Christmas Album.” True to the name, the tune shows off some strong Beach Boys influence:
","type":"video","meta":{"author":"Switchfoot","author_url":"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi9lvMuNrySHqoFfiOLcudQ","cache_age":86400,"description":"Get tickets to our first ever Christmas tour! Available here: https://switchfoot.com/tour\nOrder \"this is our Christmas album\" on Vinyl, CD & Digital here: https://switchfoot.com/store\n\nOfficial Visualizer for Switchfoot’s – \"California Christmas\". Track 1 from our new and appropriately titled Christmas record… \"this is our Christmas album\".\n\n————-\n\nMerry Christmas everyone!\n\nAnd welcome to an album that we’ve talked about making for years: a Switchfoot Christmas album!\n\nFor each of us in the band, I’m sure this record holds a different meaning. For me, music and Christmas will always go hand in hand. My earliest musical memories are Christmas Music. I can picture it now: my family circled round my grandparents piano, singing carols and playing along as best we could on whatever was laying around- guitars, ukuleles, lap steels, harmonicas, or tambourines. We’d stumble through the Christmas carols smiling and laughing while my grandpa’s Lionel train ran circles round the Christmas tree.\n\nUp until last year, I’d never thought of trying to write Christmas songs of our own. The canonized Christmas tunes are enough to tackle in and of themselves. But then last Christmas, I began to see things differently. Christmas is an emotional treasure chest for a songwriter to pull from. It’s a season stretched tight with contradictions: the incarnate God enters the world as a baby born into poverty on the edge of the Empire. This season brings out the best and the worst in us: cutting someone off on the freeway, rushing to get a gift for grandpa before the stores close. \n\nEvery word is pregnant with meaning, every phrase is tied to years of memories and tradition. These contradictions of elation and disappointments are where we decided to dig to find Christmas tunes of our own. \n\nWe hope you enjoy our own addition to the Christmas tradition as well as our take on some holiday classics. \n\nWhat a gift this season truly is! Wherever these songs find you, we pray that these tunes can be a welcome addition to your family traditions. \n\nGod bless you all, and to all a good night,\n-Switchfoot\n\nFollow Switchfoot

are in the windows\nSnow is on the ground\nSeems like everywhere you look\nYou see an angel hangin’ round\n\nThere’s something in the air\nYou feel it everywhere\nA New Year’s knockin’ the door\n\nEvery other corner\nSantas ring their bells\nPeople take the time to stop and wish each other well\n\nNow everywhere you look\nIt’s like a picture book\nWho could even wish for something more?\nThen to spend a Christmas in New York\n\nChurch bells in the night\nTimes Square lit up bright\nSkaters in the Plaza after dark\nIf it’s meant to be\nWell then maybe you and me\nCould take a carriage ride through Central Park\n\nDown at Rockefeller\nThe lighting of the tree\nSeems like every year it means a little more to me\nAnd seeing the surprise in little childrens’ eyes\nThrilled by what the season has in store\nYes this is Christmas in New York\n\nChurch bells in the night\nTimes Square lit up bright\nWhatever’s meant to be\nIf it’s meant to be\nWell then maybe you and me\nCould take a carriage ride through Central Park\n\nAll the elves are busy\nOn Macy’s eighth floor\nIt’s good to know there is still a miracle on 34th\nBut what I love the most\nIs holding you this close\nThis is what they made the Season for\n\nThose spending Christmas In\nOoohhh another Christmas In\n\nAnother Christmas In\nNew York\n\n#BackstreetBoys #BSB #AVeryBackstreetChristmas

out\n\nWeatherman sayin’ it might snow\nMight as well keep off the road\nSo whatcha say we stay here at the house\n\nMe and you\n\nWe’ll throw a holiday party\nDon’t tell anybody\nWe’ll pour us a drink and hang some lights on the tree\nWe’ll be jingle bell rockin’\nTil the neighbors come knockin’\nSo turn up the fire playin’ on the TV\nWatchin’ for Santa from the top of the roof\nWhile we’re wrapped up in a blanket for two\nWe’ll throw a holiday party\nHoliday party\nFor just me and you\n\nWe can say that we’re not in town\nWhen our friends say meet us out\nWe’ll just keep hangin’ like the mistletoe\n\nAnd we’ll sing karaoke\nSlip on somethin’ cozy\nCuz we ain’t got nowhere to go\n\nAnd when New Year’s Eve rolls around\nWe ain’t gotta shut it down\n\n#DanAndShay #GoodThings

For a more chill take on the season, check out the instrumental album “Pickin’ On Christmas” by Georgia-based guitarists Davis Causey and Jay Smith.
The duo originally recorded the album in 1998 as a gift for friends, but this year it finally gets a formal release. While most of the disc is guitar-based covers, the album includes an original track, “Following a Star”:
Grammy-winning children’s artist Joanie Leeds reunited with rapper and children’s artist Fyütch for another holiday effort after last year’s “Winter Wonderland,” this time with a full album of reimagined classics and new tracks.
“Oy Vey! Another Christmas Album” pays homage to the Christmas titles penned by Jewish songwriters, and includes an original track celebrating each day, “Every Day’s a Holiday”:

em\nEveryday you give me reasons\nto celebrate you every season\n\nOh I shine like the sun when I’m with you\nYeah, you brighten up my life \nGleaming and glowing you show me again and again\n\nYou‘re like a present on Christmas Day\nMy spinning dreidel made out of clay\nMy grand finale firework display \nWhen I’m with you everyday’s a holiday\n\nI’ll give you flowers on a Thursday \nDon’t have to wait till your birthday\nI think about you when you’ve gone away\nI need to see you in the worst way\n\nOh I’m like the moon when I’m with you\nYeah you brighten up my life \nIlluminating, elating again and again\n\nMy four leaf clover I’ll always save\nMy Halloween candy I always crave\nValentine chocolates everyday\nWhen I’m with you, everyday’s a holiday\n \nMy colorful basket of Easter Eggs\nYou’re like Thanksgiving, I’m grateful hey\nYou are the music I love to play\nWhen I’m with you, everyday’s a holiday\n\nEvery day 365 you make me feel alive my hearts desire\nGotta give you sweet reminders (every day’s a holiday)\nI don’t need a calendar to tell me when I think of ya\nI don’t need expensive gifts, you’re priceless cause (every day’s a holiday)\nGranny used to hook it up, birthday cards with the cash in it \nbut now she’s gone so all my wishes, one more day of Granny’s kisses. \nGrab your loved ones, hold ’em tight, ‘cause tomorrow we never know. \nYour presence is the greatest gift, can’t wrap that up in a bow.\n\nAnd when the sun’s hiding and clouds are grey, \nIf we’re together they’ll fade away\nYou make the rainy days feel OK. \nWhen I’m with you, everyday’s a holiday.\n\nFinding it hard for me to convey.\nYou’re pulling my heartstrings in every way. \nI know when I say it- it sounds cliché- \nWhen I’m with you, every day’s a holiday.\n\n#holiday #holiday
