After years of retail I'm an absolute grinch for most Christmas music that plays on the radio, but I still really enjoy just about all the hymns and church music despite not being religious whatsoever

Handles Messiah - yes please.
Same. Gloria In Excelsis Deo rips
Killer hymn.
Great pick! Just belting it at the top of my lungs, despite zero singing ability, so satisfying

Jul i Svingen was one of NRK's "advent calendar shows", i.e. an episode a day from December 1st to December 24th. I think "advent calendar shows" are actually a phenomenon largely unique to TV in the Nordic countries, with limited success in Germany and the Netherlands as well.
In any case I never actually watched Jul i Svingen myself, but the song is generally very popular for Christmas playlists in Norway. So it's sort of a cultural osmosis thing for me. The song blends folk music elements like the fiddle, with more Christmas-y sounds like jingle bells, with more modern elements, and all of these elements come together to create a very unique and cozy vibe I think.

Happy Holidays, you bastard - Blink 182
It’s not super xmas-y but I really like it.
Also any good Wassail-Ing songs.

They need to stay out of November though.

We Three Kings, but only if it has a rap section shoehorned in (Beach Boys and The Roches both have pretty good versions as well)
Also this Wynton Marsalis version: https://youtu.be/FomP2m8DPG8

Silver Bells is kinda cozy.

There are so many good Christmas songs. Like a Gift From God or Whatever by Chris Farren is an entire album of original Christmas bangers.
Jingle Bells · Ramsey Lewis Trio
They put out two Christmas albums.

I can't hear Christmas songs anymore.
I only hear Gachimuchi and break out in laughing fits it stores blasting Christmas music.
