If you like prog rock Trans Siberian Orchestra is good. Paul Gilbert did a shred album called Twas that's all guitar Christmas covers

Does anything/everything by Sleigh Bells count? Rill Rill

The album X-Mas Death Jazz by Panzerballett

The Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is the best Christmas album by a mile
It SO is but that's another one we've played just about to death lol
You probably are playing all the good ones through then
My #2 is the Ella Fitzgerald #3 Bublรฉ
Surprisingly good is the backstreet boys Christmas album, as is the Gwen Stefani
I'll have to check out Gwen Stefani's, and yeah Ella Fitzgerald is classic
Corpse pile has an EP called Holly Jolly Hardgore

Been digging this one recently
The cover alone makes me love this, song is great too

I despise Christmas for so many reasons but I didn't immediately turn off Laufey's Christmas album when my wife turned it on so maybe try that?

Would you care for Christmas parody covers of Green Day? https://redandgreenday.bandcamp.com/album/cookie
But for something standard, Wynton Marsalis's Crescent City Christmas Card is a standby of tolerable Christmas music for me. Carol of the Bells kicks ass swung. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F86XJI4YiJs&list=OLAK5uy_kNjYdnyCDoZrYRVme1KHfI4Bo3YOwxP0M&index=2
