Dec 10, 2023 · There are plenty of great alternative rock Christmas anthems out there from iconic artists like Def Leppard, Weezer, and Newfound Glory. We’re going to help you find the ultimate Xmas playlist with a list of our favorite alternative Christmas songs.
- Prince - Another Lonely Christmas. Rocking around the Christmas tree is all well and good, but not a patch on listening to a funky little chap from Minneapolis moaning about his girlfriend leaving him.
- Ronnie James Dio and Tony Iommi - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. As even the hardiest of metal heads would testify, heavy metal Christmas music is awful.
- Clarence Carter - Back Door Santa. Clarence Carter’s track about “making all the little girls happy, while the boys are out to play,” “chasing the children home,” and “giving them a few pennies so we could be alone” is still as refreshingly anti-Christmas as it was in 1968.
- Run-DMC - Christmas In Hollis. 'Novelty' hip-hop is a near-impossible trick to pull off, but in 1987, Run-DMC could still rock the beats and the funnies.
- Ramones: Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight) Buy Christmas vinyl and more at the Dig! store. Pretenders. best ofs. Christmas. Lists. Pop. Rock. The Darkness.
- The Kinks: Father Christmas (1977) Known for his wry social commentary, frontman Ray Davies cuts right to the chase on The Kinks’ 1977 single Father Christmas, which is about a cynical man who dresses up as Santa Claus but gets mugged by feral youths (“Father Christmas, give us some money/Don’t mess around with those silly toys”).
- The Waitresses: Christmas Wrapping (1981) A Christmas song that starts with “Bah humbug!” was always bound to go down in history. Bringing out the Scrooge in all of us, new wave upstarts The Waitresses scored a notable hit in 1981 with Christmas Wrapping, a brass-backed favourite for singletons who are forced to tolerate holiday celebrations they’d rather avoid.
- Pretenders: 2000 Miles (1983) Emerging from the late-70s punk scene, Chrissie Hynde and her new wave outfit, Pretenders, surprised fans with the heartbreaking 2000 Miles, released as a festive single in December 1983.

- The Linda Lindas – Groovy Xmas. When punk bands write a Christmas song, there’s usually a tendency to get cynical with it – we see you Blink-182 and NOFX - but The Linda Lindas embrace the fun, wholesome spirit of the season with the joyous, youthful exuberance of Groovy Xmas, dreaming of finding a “sweet axe” underneath the tree, and regaling us with tales of feline mischief.
- Dream Nails – Lonely Star (Christmas Song) Let’s be real, sometimes Christmas just plain sucks. Dream Nails recognise that, and with Lonely Star they’re here to tell you that you’re not alone.
- Mother Mother – Cry Christmas. Yep, another Christmas song for those who dread spending the holidays with a chaotic family. Whether it’s your conspiracy theorist uncle and his coked-out girlfriend, or the endless diet of bone-dry turkey that’s getting you down, Canadian indie-rockers Mother Mother have seen it all, and are here for you at this difficult time friends.
- Wolf Alice – Santa Baby. Breathing new life into the Eartha Kitt classic, Wolf Alice recorded a version of Santa Baby that puts Michael Bublé’s heavily edited cover to shame.
