With the beginning of December, we open the official season of listening to holiday songs - without shame and guilt. So that songs like Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas and Sinatra's Jingle Bells won't be heard a thousand times on our Christmas playlists, this time we searched for slightly more "alternative" versions of Christmas songs that will accompany us "on repeat" through December.
1. Coldplay – Christmas Lights
2. The Raveonettes – The Christmas Song
3. The Pogues & Christy MacColl – Fairytale of New York
4. Nat King Cole – Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire (The Christmas Song)
5. Amy Winehouse - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
