Ah, the holiday season is upon us. From the somehow always controversial Starbucks cups, to the obligatory ugly sweater Zoom parties you need alcohol to get through, there’s no escaping the potentially-forced merriment surrounding the month of December.

It’s the one time each year dedicated to giving, decorating, and listening to Michael Bublé.

But 2020 has been a struggle, and if you’re not feeling the Christmas spirit this year, don’t worry. I’ve got ya covered.

This month’s playlist features more indie darlings than playlists past, and comes with the guarantee that at least one of these bands will soon become a new fave.

So whether you’re doing the whole Christmas thing or not this year, it’s worth giving this playlist a listen. Give these groups the gift of stream time.

I’d say happy new year, but I don’t want to jinx it. So…

Happy end of 2020.
