Bits of Sweetness: 10 the Best Alternative Holiday Albums

10 the Best Alternative Holiday Albums



While most of us love that greeting cards have all been sent and the Christmas rush is through, sometimes it is nice to refresh that playlist. These are some of my favorites, some just released! And well-worth checking out. Whether you are more a Bing Crosby or classical Christmas carols fan, these are worth playing! All images are linked to the album on Amazon!

1:: A Johnson Files Christmas

Shaun and his wife have an absolutely hilarious (clean!) channel and do some great videos. Shaun is also a fantastic vocal artist! His renditions of "Holy Night" and his own "The Most Christmasy Song Ever Written" are great tracks.



2:: A Very Kacey Christmas

Kacey Musgraves "Golden Hour" album is on repeat often. I  love her unique vocals with a little Nashville flair. Her Christmas album is fantastic



3:: The Best of Pentatonix Christmas

Pentatonix is synonymous with Christmas at our house. My kids love them and it is one of the first they put on. My favorite song of theirs ever is "That's Christmas to Me". It is sentimental and nostalgic.



4:: Everyday is Christmas

"Chandelier" is a favorite on my piano playlist when I play. Sia's vocals lend very well to this fun upbeat album. I just recently discovered she made a Christmas album. 


5:: A Legendary Christmas

I love John Legend. His voice almost reminds me of decades gone by. This is just a fun upbeat album to have on.



6:: Dream A Dream

This is an older album but still a beloved one. I fell in love with Charlotte Church when her "Voice of and Angel" album came out. 



7:: Winter Magic

Hayley Westenra was a classic in my home growing up. Her albums are easy to listen to and this holiday one is no exception.

8:: Adore: Christmas Songs of Worship

Anyone who knows me knows that good worship music has a special place in my heart. I have spent years playing on worship teams at churches and there is something really special about worshiping together. I have an appreciation for the way Chris Tomlin does music so incredibly well. 


9:: Simple Little Christmas

Anthem Lights came onto the scene back in 2012 with their incredible mashups of all the most popular songs that year. You can listen to it here. They did a phenomenal job with their Christmas album.




10:: Christmas Together

Caleb is from the group Anthem Lights and began recording with his wife Kelsey. Their covers of songs and compilations are stunning. The way they look at each other in this video is so heart melting.
