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.

Little known fact, when The Nativity occurred “The Birds Go a-Caroling“–including owls, jays, and some wacky woodpecker on a drum. All Together Now make an antique instrument folk meal out of this. Birds is the words.

L&R commit to a lively rap with “Our Caroling Song.” Goofy with a great bass line.

Listen, listen, command Katy and Kiki when the “Carol Singers” swoop in. If you can, i guess, you should clap your hands and stomp your feet. Oh, it’s a kid song.

“Our Carol” is James Harland-Wright’s love ballad in three-quarter handclapping woohooing pop. Not something to spread around the neighborhood.

Jack Martian is playing it cool when he tells the “Caroler” at his not to cry. It’s all just make believe. Apt for the indie blues here, but freezing proselytizers don’t wanna hear that.

BLUE ALERT! Dollar Signs is drunk and alone, so–time to become a “Caroler“! It doesn’t end well, but the rushed indie folk indicates thusly. Altogether now: ralph!

Ricky Mirage synths thoughtful pop about those “Merry Carolers.” Let them in! he orders. Nicely done.

Let’s ask AI: Choralbeatpeople · Christmas Crooners · The Holiday Voices are credited with the whistling pop of “Together We’re Caroling.” Danceable, but does this sound like a high schooler’s story?

Almost too strange, “See the Carolers (In the Dark)” features Doreen Pinkerton on an old timey player pianer, caterwauling gospel-lite about seeing in the dark. Huh?

Finally, David M’s Ironic Acronym gets absurd with Carol “Caroling.” Aggressively pop folk, but brace yourself for the nasal lyrics. Wha-?
