While I don't hate the standard lineup of holiday music, I always appreciate variety. All I know of is "Punk Goes Christmas" and maybe a handful of singles from over the years. Anyone have anything they know of to suggest? Would prefer originals and not just covers of the classics, but that's not a hard rule or anything.

Also, if possible, bandcamp links would be appreciated. With the upcoming bandcamp friday, it'd be nice to have some good bands to support.

My favorite non-standard holiday song is If it has to be Christmas

With such lines as

If it has to be Christmas for you to be nice

You're an asshole

If you think the season is the reason

You're a piece of shit

And calling people spineless if they can only make a change for the better if it's New Year's and hints that so much of the holiday just appearances

It's part of an album that was made for a game, so most of the other songs directly reference the game, but this one and a couple others are standalone
