Watching ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ on the telly is a tradition many use to herald in the season. Beats throwing yourself off a bridge, i reckon.

Chad Serhal w/She Does is Magic whistles and ukes up the joint with the unfrilly folk of “Christmas“. They watch it, and i daresay attempt to achieve it.

Drugged out childishness with “Dancing Under The Mistletoe” chimed over by Vaginals. Never have the ordinary chores of Christmas sounded so bizarre.

Robert Bergeron gets garage carried away with “My Christmas With You“. Hollering and banging on the geetar, they really do watch the broadcast over and over.

Chainsaw McGee conducts what sounds like seagulls over “Dreck the Halls“, a sorrowful take on the plot points of our current picture. It’s Something Awful.

At the “Holiday Inn” Bryan White softly pops about being stuck, and there’s some movie on HBO. Suddenly Christmas isn’t so bad.

Wanting to watch this old rerun is a come-on for Danielle Cormier who feels “Merrier With You” despite the ASMR pop.

“Into Christmas” for JOYWIRE means Hallmark Channel movies on replay. This pop rocker has an infectious beat that supersedes their taste. So, uh hunh.

Wonderstate’s “Covered in Love” compares Hallmark movies to reality when Christmas chaos ensues. It’s a low bar, but there you are. Soft country pop.

“You, Me & Hallmark Christmas Movies” by Jason Michael also blurs the lines with his crazy, crazy romantic roller coaster of a holiday. Country slurred pop.

She tries to escape the big cityscape begins “Like A Hallmark Movie” and thus does Austin Martinez reveal the secret formula to the perpetual motion machine. Garage rock.

“Tangerine Christmas” brought to you be Donny & the Bunnies is an odd duck of a holiday celebration, with desserts and cookies hanging on trees, and Hallmark movies on TV. But the gentle pop enlightens us. We were all the hummingbirds rac(ing) around the palm trees. Each one of us.

Francesca Castro returns us to the thrilling days of the pandemic in her R+B “Santa’s Gotta Stay Home“. Movies aren’t a problem at least. Making a meal of these lyrics is.

Putting the meh in meh-ry Xmas, Eleni and the Uprising millennially rock “Chilly“. Movies put the numbness on hold, briefly. Bleak.

Holly Berry can no longer stomach those films “This Christmas“, ‘cuz you’re not there. Minimalistic R+B to tug at your feels.

Mommy said we could Watch Christmas movies, maintain the children while dad partakes of a “Christmas Cup of Cheer“. Then another. What’s in the cup, Daddy? wonders this sloshy pop of an experimental number. Messages are questioned.

The New Starts Now loves “This Christmas” with the same love they have for you. Twangy country pop, however, dismisses the movies along with the sweaters. I see….

Annoying Orange wants to be on the good boy list, so figures to rap about watching movies with friends in the annoying “Christmas Wrap“. Fail.

Addi Marie’s “Hometown Christmas” sounds like Norman Rockwell, but smells like Hell. Dead-voiced tinkly pop fingers family activities (movies!) like they’re symptoms. Refreshingly, disturbingly odd.

Pair that with Michael Amidei’s “It’s Christmas (And I Don’t Feel A Thing)“, a straight-shootin’ confessional of slow pop disaffected. Time for better help.com.

Chromonicci mashes a Mel Torme sound with a hip hopping backbeat for “Wonderful Christmas.” Tree decoration and hot apple cider pair well, it is sung, with Christmas movies all night. Well, that depends….

When “Every Month Is Christmas” Jonathan R Holman, Mureka figure the movies roll in around November. I guess AI is easily fooled in this pop torment. Those films roll out: All. Year. Long.

In the “Letter To Santa” We Love Christmas get R+B rapping cozy with all the accoutrement (movies, yeah)–but they still want more. I don’t.

The Bingle Jells (feat. Andrew Lloyd Baughman) daub a dismal picture of a “Latchkey Kid At Christmas“. Guess you could watch movies…. Grandly dismal slow pop, mocked with brass. Cool cool cool.

“Darling, It’s Cold Out” by Cassiøpeia is a pining portrait of indie needs that may be blaming holiday romcoms on the need for winter romancing. Breathy ultralight pop with a bossa nova beat.

Electronic queer pop from Europe sets OIOIOIO to redo “Parson Brown” as a reaching sooo hard for the rhyme poem of inconsequence. (He’s hosting his Christmas party by showing movies!)(Snicker!)

Christmas movies they move me, avers Lachlan Ondre (feat. Lyn) in the R+B on again rap off again “The Bells Ring“. Pedestrian, yet i can’t help but clap along.

“Merry Christmas To You” sings Aaron Layne with the usual suspects of nog, movies, carols. But the jazz band shtick fronted by a strong uke line sells me.

“A Christmas Film” from Canvas: the human is a rollercoaster of feelings and scenes in a rock genre. Problems with the third act….

Keepers of the Stars compulsively title-drop in the percussively pop “Christmas at the Movies” so much that you begin to wonder if these are lyrics or Mad Libs. Antic.

The Meanwhile rock “Christmas at the Movies” much harder, but their overview includes Gremlins, Ernest, and Muppets. Rock ON.

Troy and Lyric cook sample here there and everywhere for the popping “Christmas at the Movies“. It encompasses all the catharses of the season. Phew.

Christmas certainly is a circus, that is a roundabout that seems to never end (for me!!).

“It’s Christmas At The Circus” ia kid song with colorful characters from Magic of Christmas Singers. Scary like clowns, boring like three rings.

Billy Lilly and Friends is even more eerie with “Christmas in the Circus.” This alt folk jangler does indeed go round and round.

Gossip Wolf And The Fox ante the up with their “Midnight Circus,” collected on a Christmas album but perhaps not really about December dealings. Yet, up is up.

The magic of December’s like a circus leaving town, Colbie Caillat (feat. Jason Reeves) express in “Every Day Is Christmas.” Not clear how well circuses come off here, but it IS a love song. A country pop love song.

“LET’S GO CAROLING” harmonize David Michael Layne and co. with easy listening mediocrity and angelic indifference. They’re recruiting.

“Let’s Go Caroling” belt out Turtle Creek Chorale with much borrowing and glee. Nearly gospel in their showtune approach.

The Brittles also title drop when they insist “Let’s Go Christmas Caroling.” Derivative pop. Still, better than AI. A bit.
