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 The oddly specific (and generally very outdated) jingles concerning these four weeks of the calendar year flood the airwaves until New Year's passes.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 Lounge compilation.


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".

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
