‘Tis the season for Mariah Carey and Wham! to dominate speakers all over, but holiday music doesn’t start and end with them, so I’ve put together a list of the dopest new tracks and covers to come out this season.
This Christmas, get in that holiday spirit with a fresher twist with my picks for the dopest holiday songs of 2024.
Bleachers -Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call
Coco Jones – Santa Is Me
Conan Gray – Holidays
This is one of those more somber numbers that remind you that this season isn’t all cheer and joy to everyone, but rather a time to reflect on life.
Jennifer Hudson – Santa for Someone
GloRilla & Kehlani – Xmas Time
Glo capping a dope year by collabing on a Christmas track with Kehlani further proves that the Memphis rapper will get your attention one way or the other.
Jessie Reyez – MERRY NOTHIN
Laufey – Santa Baby
This song sounds like it was made for Laufey’s syrupy, sweet vocals. Her playful delivery and the whimsical Jazzy production accompanying it make this a cover that deserves to be on your holiday song rotation every year from now on.
Saweetie – “I Want You This Christmas”
This time of year isn’t just about the holidays, it’s also cuffing season. Saweetie’s R&B tune about getting down with somebody for the holidays is the kind of song you send that special someone you’re trying to unwrap, and we’re not strictly talking about presents.
