1
Winter Wonderland
Phantom Planet
Maybe This Christmas

California's poppy darlings remake a holiday gem.

2
I'm The One Who Gunned Santa Claus Down
Deadbolt
91Xmas Loudspeaker

The scariest surf/psychobilly band in the world weaves a chilling, sordid tale of the demise of the adulturous, Uzi-toting Kris Kringle.

3
Poncho Claus
El Vez
Merry MeX-mas

Pass the tequila and tamales... a south of the border Christmas sounds like a blast to us.

4
All I Want For Christmas
Dread Zeppelin
Just In Time For Christmas

Mix up the spirit of Elvis, Rastafarian beliefs, a dash of Jimmy Paige and a reference to Vegas, now that's a Christmas carol.

5
Sleigh Ride
Squirrel Nut Zippers
Christmas Caravan

Most likely the coolest instumental version of this classic, ever. Plus, that means YOU get to do the singing.

6
Little Drummer Boy
Dandy Warhols
It's A Cool, Cool Christmas

A swirly, psychedelic take on an old standard.

7
Let's Have A Patrick Swayze Christmas
MST3K Cast
Clowns In The Sky Vol. 1

The very line "We'll decorate a barstool/and stand around and sing" makes the flick "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians" a victory for boozehounds the world over.

8
Baby It's Cold Outside
Jack Marshall
Ultralounge - Christmas Cocktails Vol. 1

Everyone should be familiar with Dean Martin's version of this classic, but whistling, now that's a lost art.

9
Daddy Drank Our Christmas Money
The TVTV$

Punk Rock Xmas

It's like the Audio Ghost Of Christmas Past. Who can't relate to "Every year we decorate the tree with old beer cans/'cause they're the only ornaments we have?"

10
Merry Christmas Baby
The Bell Rays
A Vital Gesture Christmas

A funky soul version of this Christmas classic.

11
We'll Call It Christmastime
Supersuckers

Happy Birthday Baby Jesus Vol. 2

Sorry, but it's just impossible for us to put together a favorites list without making sure the 'Suckers are duely represented.

12
Linus And Lucy
Cocktail Preachers
(live track)

Straight up surf from Chicago, The Cocktail Preachers can rock our holiday party any day.

13
We Three Kings
Mojo Nixon & The Toadliquors

Horny Holidays

Much like Santa, Mojo is jolly and has a beard. Unlike St. Nick, Mojo likes to say the word tallywhacker. Whose lap would you rather sit on?

14
Santa's Gonna Rock
The Snakes

A Vital Gesture Christmas

Hootenanny at
the North Pole?
Count us in!

15
Christmas Is The Time
Kids of Widney High
Santa's Swingin' Sack

Oh yeah! These special kids make us want to get liquored up and go caroling!

16
Homo Christmas
Pansy Division
Punk Rock Xmas

Don we now our gay apparel... especially those deluxe red leather buttless chaps. Hot. Red hot.

17
Fuck Christmas
The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs
A Vital Gesture Christmas

It's short, it's catchy... hands down it's everyone's favorite punk rock Christmas song, now in a cover version!

18
Mrs. Claus Has Menopause
The Sterilles
(super rare track!)

It takes a sassy girl-group to explain why the big guy spends so much time with the elves... "Santa doesn't get it at night."

19
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Black Widows
A Vital Gesture Christmas

Raging Christmas Surf Rock
=
Comfort AND Joy

20
Christmastime
Is Here
Richard Cheese and Lounge Against The Machine
Tuxicity

The swankified version of another Peanuts classic.

21
Bizarre Christmas Incident
Ben Folds
Maybe This Christmas

Fireplace... Fat Santa... Crisco?
A holiday recipe for disaster, better call the cops.

22
I Hate Fuckin' Christmas
The Rugburns
Taking The World By Donkey

Who needs sugarplums, when you can have visions of sodomized Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dancing through your head?

23
I Won't Be Home For Christmas
Blink 182
Santa's Swingin' Sack

Got one of those families that you can't help but fight with if you're in the same room for more than 15 minutes? Well then, this one's for you.

24
Blue Christmas
Bright Eyes
Maybe This Christmas

A fairly traditional take on our favorite Elvis Christmas tune.

25
(Gimme Gimme) I've Been Good
Alter Egos
A Vital Gesture Christmas

A greedy, yet rollicking, Ramones-esque ode to Santa Claus.
