15 Alternative Christmas Songs That Will Still Make You Feel Festive

8. Winter Moon - Mindy Gledhill

Hands up, who likes twee? And sugar plums dancing in your heads? And big cherub-like winter smiles on your rosy little faces? If the answer to any of those things is no then maybe Mindy Gledhill isn€™t for you. But if you adore the lovey-dovey romance of Christmas and don€™t mind your indie pop so sweet it'€™ll roll your eyes back into your brain, then stick Winter Moon on. Gledhill chirrups about a past romance at Christmas time with what can only be the biggest, dopiest, most wistful grin on her face.

With lyrics that incorporate cider simmering on the stove and reading Dickens by the fire glow, this is as merry as it gets. The tune itself is a jaunty little nugget, all banjo and handclaps. Winter Moon is guaranteed to bring out the sweetness and light from even the most Scrooge-like of relatives at Christmas. Awwwww!
