If 2019 were a road trip to Los Angeles, we’d only be to about Keystone at this point. But as we drive further into the new year, I want to take a look through the rearview at the year that was, and blast some good tunes while we’re at it.

You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen, "Silent Night" and "Jingle Bells," and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," but what about the more unconventional holiday songs?

Just in time for your seasonal revelry, here’s a list of six songs for those of us who want an alternative take on holiday cheer. All released after the mid-2000s, these songs may never become universal standards, but the Spotify crowd may count them among the essential Yuletide tunes. I call it Hipster Holidays.
