9 Holiday Tracks You Never Knew Existed

It's the most wonderful time of the year, right?

One thing that everyone either loves or hates about the holiday season is the music. The oddly specific (and generally very outdated) jingles concerning these four weeks of the calendar year flood the airwaves until New Year's passes.

I personally enjoy these songs for a couple listens, but then grow tired and am ready to put them away until next year. Which made me wonder, where are all the other holiday songs that must have been released but fell through the cracks?

After scouring the internet for far too long, I've compiled the most eclectic list of holiday tracks I believe have not been widely heard...


First up is for all you deep house fans, Sascha Cawa and Dirty Doering's mix "Ding Dong" is a dance floor ready take on "Carol of the Bells".


Kaskade just released a series of Christmas carol reworks. This is a little known Christmas carol, "Jesu Parvule", recored with Late Night Alumni.


Did you know Ludacris made a holiday track for the movie Fred Clause, appropriately titled "Ludacrismas"? It's marvelous.

Carly Rae Jepsen made an infectious cover of "Last Christmas".

Ever thought you'd hear "Jingle Bells" over a club mix? Neither did I, but I low key love it.

Groovecatcher mixed "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" into an ambient techno track for the Mistletoe Loungecompilation.


A smilier compilation, Holiday Remixed, brought us this chill house rework of "Winter Wonderland"

King Street Sounds' release Christmas In The House brought us endearing house tunes, including "It's X-Mas" by Stephanie Cooke.

Here's a fix for any disco fans out there - the Disco Magic recording of "White Christmas"

Last but most definitely not least - DJ McFly has bestowed upon us "Party Rock Anthem" vs. "Jingle Bell Rock".

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
