15 Alternative Christmas Songs That Will Still Make You Feel Festive

4. The Day It Snowed - Amusement Parks On Fire

Need a Christmas hug? Let Amusement Parks On Fire provide it. This stunning soundscape from the Nottingham alt-shoegazers sounds like a perfect welcome home if, say, you€™'ve just returned having been caught in a freezing blizzard. Or even if you€™re just a bit cold, or have bad circulation. It€™'ll put the hot right into your toddy.

Evoking images of a snow-covered earth or frost bitten landscape, musically this is a sonic delight. It€™s punctuated throughout by chilly glockenspiel with each note appearing like a dancing snowflake in the wind; the temperate strings that flow delicately in the background offer a soothing fervour and by the time it€™s finished you€™ll be as snug as a bug in a rug having been aurally hugged into cosiness. In other words, it€™s pretty darn lovely.
