ACRONYM ZINE’s Unconventional Christmas Playlist
It’s Christmas, and we want to ensure your tunes are top-tier. That being said, we’ve pulled together an Unconventional Christmas Playlist that contains songs that have Holiday vibes, covers of classics, and underground tracks that will attempt to raise you into the Christmas spirit, whether you’re naturally feeling it or not.
We’re going to mention this now so you don’t make a big error: This playlist is not suitable for children, so you should probably not be blaring it around the kiddos without curating it first. If you want to make it more kid-friendly, you can add our playlist to a new playlist in your Spotify account and remove the songs that you feel aren’t appropriate for your audience. Here’s an image of how to do that:
In addition to our fully curated playlist, we’ve checked with our contributors to pick a song, check out everyone’s picks below. Also, read into each writer’s archive of Concert Coverage by clicking their name!
AMI NICOLE
This song personally cracks me up, and it’s not done in the “traditional Christmas way” so it doesn’t drive me bonkers after almost 2 months of people overdoing the Christmas music.
SAM NORK
When posed “give me a Christmas song that’s not a traditional track, maybe a cover,” and Sam said “What about an Original?” Considering Blink-182 has multiple Christmas songs, we’re not shocked this was Sam’s pick.
GAVIN KOENIG
Gavin covered Stephen Sanchez for ACRONYM ZINE this year so it was a perfect fit for this playlist. He snagged this one and we chatted about how the art design is reminiscent of Bing Crosby’s Christmas records.
DYLAN SCOTT
Dylan’s gotta go with one of the classics but a new spin by hitting the Pentatonix version!
KAYLA COLE
I love that when I ask Kayla for songs for these playlists, she sends me choices — I opted to not go with the Insane Clown Posse song she sent over, but her second choice was this My Chemical Romance tune.
SPENCER ISBERG
Spencer joined the team between Halloween and Christmas, so this was his first time picking a track for our playlists! He went to a deep cut, Beach House’s “I Do Not Care For The Winter Sun” which I’m absolutely loving.
