Here are some new Christmas / Holiday songs for 2016.

>>>

Singer/songwriter Marié Digby recently released her Christmas song ‘Venice Beach Christmas’ on iTunes and other streaming outlets (read: Spotify).

Unlike the typical Christmas song, featuring snow and cold weather… Digby’s song is all about feeling breezy and beachy.

We saw Digby with Meiko in March 2016 and wrote how she first came to fame with her viral cover of Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ song.

SHE & HIM

New Girl’s Zooey Deschanel and Monsters of Folk’s M. Ward is She & Him.

I’ll never forget seeing the duo in June 2010, as the two does not often tour together. Plus with Deschanel’s commitment to her television show, I doubt the two will be doing any future appearances…

There’s good news, of course, She & Him just released their sixth studio album Christmas Party (Columbia Records). Guest appearance on the album includes Jenny Lewis, The Chapin Sisters and Sonic Youth‘s Steve Shelley.

Christmas Party is available digitally, on CD and vinyl. Tracklisting:

All I Want for Christmas Is You
Let It Snow
Must Be Santa
Happy Holiday
Mele Kalikimaka
Christmas Memories
Run Run Rudolph
Winter Wonderland
The Coldest Night of the Year
A Marshmallow World
The Man with the Bag
Christmas Don’t Be Late

While we wait for a new Marika Hackman album in 2017, you can pick up her Christmas EP Wonderland now.

“Wonderland” is Marika’s new Alt.Christmas take on some classic holiday tunes, as well as some original compositions.

Hackman’s name first came to our attention at the Great Escape 2013. A few years later, she finally got around to releasing her debut record We Sleep At Last (in 2015) with her producer Charlie Andrew (Alt-J).
