It’s December. That means it’s officially illegal to not play Christmas songs from morning until night. Whether it’s Mariah Carey, Wham!, or Wizzard, we’ve all got our favourites – collected over years of making precious memories with family and friends.

But what of the songs that don’t always appear on those classic Christmas compilation albums? What of the songs that Spotify doesn’t feature on its playlists?. Hundreds of famous artists around the world have recorded potential Christmas classics that never seem to get the coverage their quality deserves.

In fact, some of the biggest names in pop have released Christmas songs you might never have heard before in your life, in December or otherwise. Here are 11 new songs to add to your Christmas playlist this year. Without much doubt, 2024 has been the year of Taylor Swift – if you’ve avoided hearing about the Eras Tour at all… well, where have you been?.

And if you have heard about the Eras Tour – either from your children or your friends – why not finish 2024 with Taylor’s Christmas song from 2019?. Christmas Tree Farm tells a lovely story about a woman who, to escape the stress of shopping for presents and buying heaps of food, imagines a farm of Christmas trees where people can dance and forget their troubles.

Plus, it rhymes ‘mistletoe’ with ‘fire glow’ and very obviously takes inspiration from Mariah Carey’s Christmas classic, so of course it belongs on your family playlist this year. Of course, this song is well known among Taylor’s fans, but for some reason it hasn’t quite crept onto radio playlists or Spotify suggestions yet. Maybe 2025 will be the year of Christmas Tree Farm.
