Music Video: She & Him – “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”

Media

She & Him released a Christmas album last year, and while it wasn’t that great in my mind, this was one of the stand out tracks. Although, I think I prefer Zooey singing with Buddy The Elf when she’s in the shower.

Music Video: Dropkick Murphys – “The Season’s Upon Us”

Media

The Dropkick Murphys are getting into the Christmas spirit with the release of a brand new music video for the song “The Season’s Upon Us.” The video was #1 at MTV.com the other day, which raises questions, MTV is still around and they actually played music (even though it was on their website?). The video is really funny and seems like it was written by Denis Leary. The video is worth watching, especially if you like the band and want to get into the Xmas spirit.

Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward’s indie folk band She & Him will be releasing a new album, this time it will be a Christmas album called A Very She & Him Christmas.

ReadJunk Playlist - Christmas and Hanukkah Songs

ReadJunk Playlist: December 2010 (The Holiday Playlist)

Articles

We’re in the middle of the holiday season and what better way to celebrate with an overload and abundance of Jingle Bells and Santa songs! Yippee! Most of these tracks are ones I like, some aren’t but felt the need to list them anyway. I tried to find some Hanukkah songs but only managed to find a couple. I did brief blurbs for the first 30 tracks, then just listed the rest because what can you say about the same songs over and over again? If I missed a song, post it in the comments!

Enjoy this scene where Buddy The Elf confronts the store Santa. “You smell like beef and cheese.” The clip is down below!
