Canadian Christmas Music Roundup
Each year the Christmas season brings a wave of new music, with artists putting their own spin on classic Christmas songs - or trying to whip up a new one to become the merriest melody of the year. As huge Christmas fans, we love to hear the new songs released each year so we have complied a list of Christmas songs by Canadian artists for you to feast on this season!
Wordburglar - My Christmas Catalog Number
Wordburglar is well known for weaving creative comedy concepts, intricate lyrics and unpredictable storytelling over old-school beats - and My Christmas Catalog Number is no different. Anybody who grew up picking our their Christmas gifts out from the Sears Wish Book will absolutely love this track.
Jason Blaine - Family For Christmas
The sweet, slow danceable song by Pembroke, Ontario’s Jason Blaine evokes images of Christmas’ past as he reminds us of what matters most during the holiday season. Cozy up with this single for some much-needed Christmas cheer.
Kristin Carter and JoJo Mason - The Gift
Kristin Carter and JoJo Mason team up for this Christmas ballad that has a warm, romantic 90s feel. “I’m a huge sucker for a sappy Christmas love song, so when the opportunity to sing with Kristin came to me, it was the easiest yes of 2020!“ said JoJo.
Andrew Hyatt - Put A Bow On It
“I fell into the cave that Michael Bublé lives in and emerged a Christmas troll.” is how Andrew Hyatt announced this catchy single on Instagram. Andrew has an excellent sense of humour, so never fear. Put A Bow On It brings the Christmas cheer without any excessive sentimentality - it is just a straight up good song that you can listen to all December long.
K Trevor Wilson - Baby It's Cold Outside (2019 Edition)
Known by fans across North America as Squirrelly Dan on Crave TV’s Letterkenny, K Trevor Wilson last year released Christmas With A K, a funny and festive mix of stand-up, music, and sketch comedy. Christmas With A K features Christmas songs - with the K Trev twist - such as Baby it’s Cold Outside (2019 Edition) featuring Jenna Warriner. Listen carefully!
Nice Horse - Ugly Christmas Sweater
Nice Horse, “the Spice Girls on a whiskey bender”, recently released this fun and colourful lyric video for their song Ugly Christmas Sweater. It features some knitted text with clever visual cues based on lyrics like “Watching Die Hard with my daddy on the old TV / Aunt Sally’s getting lit up like the Christmas tree / And when momma starts crying over burning the turkey / You’re dashing through the snow to pick up KFC.”
Owen Barney - Last Christmas
Don’t let the name fool you, this is not a typical Christmas cover. Toronto’s Owen Barney does pay an honest tribute to the original song, but he also infuses his personal touch throughout the sweet and soft verses.
Jon Brett - Christmas in Quarantine
Comedian and songwriter Jon Brett shares his new song Christmas in Quarantine - just in time for all of us in the red zones to do just that! Tap your toe along with Jon as he gives a humorous account of how the holidays will play out this year.
