These non-Christmas winter songs will make you instantly feel festive.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You know how Die Hard is universally accepted as a Christmas film, despite not officially being one? Well that counts for music, too \u2013 there are many <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/get-your-music-to-millions-of-listeners\/\">songs <\/a>that don\u2019t actually <em>reference<\/em> the season, but have a distinctly <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/do-i-need-a-license-for-my-christmas-song\/\">festive <\/a>feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, in the spirit of expanding holiday playlists, I would like to bring to your attention the Christmas Song That\u2019s Not A Christmas Song. I say they count as <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/10-new-christmas-songs-for-2020\/\">Christmas songs<\/a> just like the Bruce Willis film is a Christmas movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What follows is a small selection, old and new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Non-Christmas Christmas song criteria includes the following: The song features Christmassy production elements; the song invokes an instant Christmassy Feeling&#x2122;; the music video is set at Christmas.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Liam Gallagher \u2013 All You\u2019re\nDreaming Of<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Liam Gallagher - All You&#039;re Dreaming Of (Lyric Video)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HAbG7YONLxQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opening with a peal of festive horns, this 2020 charity single is a cosy bedtime story of a song. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/reviews\/track\/liam-gallaghers-new-song-all-youre-dreaming-review-2825673\">Who knew Liam had it in him.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Jennifer Lopez \u2013 All I Have ft. LL Cool J<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jennifer Lopez - All I Have (Official Video) ft.

Shimmering chimes fill the air. Nobody wants to go through a breakup at Christmas, but here we have J.Lo and LL Cool J in that miserable situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019s dropping snow globes everywhere, he\u2019s invading her personal space and chucking house keys into a roaring winter fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verdict: Absolutely a Christmas song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>S Club 7 \u2013 Never Had A Dream\nCome True<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"S Club 7 - Never Had A Dream Come True (Official Video)\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WB9_sf6oV1o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If fluffy boots are a criteria for a Christmas hit, then this video nails it, although the frozen wasteland the noughties pop group appear to be trapped in doesn\u2019t look very festive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bringing seasonal harmony upon us however is the glistening combination of chimes and soft, soaring <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-distribute-classical-music\/\">strings<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Bangles \u2013 Hazy Shade of Winter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter (Official Video)\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TxrwImCJCqk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bangles\u2019 cover of Simon and Garfunkel song \u201cHazy Shade of Winter\u201d features a sleighbell-like tambourine, mentions of snow and the Salvation Army, and harmonies fit for a church choir. And the iconic riff is a frantic accompaniment to last-minute Christmas Eve shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Elliot Smith \u2013 Angel in the\nSnow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elliott Smith - Angel In The Snow (from New Moon)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tdoBT_4PArg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture the scene: we\u2019re trudging through the snow along to Elliot Smith\u2019s acoustic guitar with its folky lilt. He\u2019s singing quietly about the winter season. The perfect, beautiful accompaniment to your own post-Christmas dinner plod, even if there\u2019s no snow to be seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Carly Simon \u2013 In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Carly Simon - In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OgpTr6ZjYz8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gentle, romantic strings, the lyrical references to not being able to sleep; the muted trumpet solo, prompting thoughts of dark winter nights spent staring up at a starry sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It feels like Christmas, along with the fact that this cover of Frank Sinatra\u2019s original is on the soundtrack of Sleepless in Seattle, a festive-feeling film which opens on Christmas Eve (just like, er, Die Hard).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Fleet Foxes \u2013 White Winter\nHymnal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal (OFFICIAL VIDEO)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DrQRS40OKNE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s got a merry tambourine, it\u2019s got carol-singer-esque harmonies, it\u2019s got winter in the title. It\u2019s only two and a half minutes long, which is the average length of a day after the clocks go back. It\u2019s a Christmas song, alright? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>East 17 \u2013 Stay Another Day <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"East 17 - Stay Another Day (Official Video)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-wNhdjoF-6M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the ultimate Non-Christmas Christmas Song. Claiming the UK Christmas Number 1 in 1994, the moving song was written by Tony Mortimer about his brother\u2019s death. The band recorded <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ykEOf0m5eeQ\">two<\/a> videos, one to fit in with the Christmas release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very-of-it\u2019s-time festive <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/promote-a-music-video-10-tips-for-more-views\/\">video <\/a>opens with the group apparently sleeping tucked up in their fluffy white hoods. By the end the pounding piano is joined by church bells and the band return to their slumber, because Santa won\u2019t come if you\u2019re still awake at midnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from all that, it\u2019s a beautiful song about thinking about absent loved ones around the holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Rolling Stones &#8211; You Can&#8217;t Always Get What You Want<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Rolling Stones - You Can\u2019t Always Get What You Want (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/krxU5Y9lCS8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s right, the Stones make the cut. Opening with a children\u2019s choir, fading away to a rising, hopeful French Horn&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do accept that it gets less Christmassy as the song progresses, although the choir does return. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But continuing throughout is the message of Christmas \u2013 that the presents under the tree might not be what you asked Santa for, but you might get something useful instead, like an innovative avocado slicer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Leon Bridges \u2013 Bet Ain\u2019t Worth The Hand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Leon Bridges - Bet Ain&#039;t Worth the Hand (Official Video)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uYEGPTFwJDo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gorgeous track is included here because you can imagine it playing in a romantic Christmas movie \u00e0 la Bridget Jones, as a heartbroken character walks dejectedly through a snowy city, being splashed by buses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to the intro \u2013 it tricks you into thinking it\u2019s a Christmas song with the ringing xylophone and blossoming harp, which peel away into a classic <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/the-best-new-soul-music-to-discover-in-2021\/\">soul <\/a>tune before returning at the end of the song. All that\u2019s needed is for the <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-perfect-music-video\/\">video <\/a>to be blanketed by snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honorary mention:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Rage Against The Machine \u2013\nKilling in the Name Of<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rage Against The Machine - Killing In the Name (Official HD Video)\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bWXazVhlyxQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year was 2009. For the previous four years, the Official UK Christmas Number 1 had been claimed by a clone from the X Factor pop machine. In one of the first examples of the power of social media, the race was hijacked by <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/man-vs-machine-simon-cowells-clone-army-vs-rage-against-the-machine\/\">a Facebook campaign<\/a> that saw <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/8423340.stm\">Rage get the top spot<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the anti-singing competition revolution sadly didn\u2019t last, because X Factor winner Matt Cardle crept back in 2010 to retake the crown. Disappointing. After all, nothing says festive like a song about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiox.co.uk\/features\/rage-against-the-machine-killing-in-the-name\/\">police brutality<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Admit it: these non-Christmas songs wouldn\u2019t sound out of place on a festive playlist. No arguments now \u2013 &#8217;tis the season of goodwill. If you can think of any other songs that make you instantly feel Christmassy, pop them in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\"><strong>Throw your Santa hat into the ring by sending your own festive-sounding creations to to RouteNote and try to make a track that sounds epic all year round, but <em>especially <\/em>in December. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for holiday songs that don&#8217;t mention Christmas?
