Selection of 2024 Christmas vinyl releases

Little Things, the Christmas single from ABBA’s latest studio album ‘Voyage’, is released for the first time on vinyl. The black 7″ includes the title track on side A, and a unique festive etching on side B.

“Christmas is constant,” says Ben Folds. “Allowing you to take stock of what’s different, to understand who you are and all the ways you’ve grown and changed.” That notion lies at the heart of Folds’ brilliantly titled new holiday collection, Sleigher. Built on an eclectic mix of originals and reimagined classics, the album examines the passage of time through the lens of Christmas, reflecting on memory, loss, and longing as it explores the variety of ways the yuletide season marks the chapters of our lives. The songs are playful here, full of humor and cheer, but they’re also laced with an inescapable sense of melancholy, a looming darkness that always seems to hover around the periphery of those late December nights. Folds’ performances, meanwhile, flirt with the standards while stretching the boundaries of tradition, at times offering up flashes of Vince Guaraldi and Burt Bacharach while still remaining true to Folds’ singularly virtuosic brand of off-kilter indie pop. The result is not so much a Ben Folds Christmas record as it is a Ben Folds record set at Christmas, a meditation on the inexorable turning of the calendar and our ever changing selves as observed at the most wonderful—and challenging—time of the year.

Christmas Interpretations is Boyz II Men’s first Christmas album, released on October 5, 1993, under Motown Records. Produced by Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight, this album includes covers of classic Christmas songs and original Christmas tracks by Boyz II Men, all fully remastered.

In a season where we all seek comfort, tradition, and a return to a home of sorts, a trio composed of indie music’s foundational members have gifted us A Peace of Us—an album of diverse holiday tunes filtered through their musical imaginations. Dean & Britta, well-known from their work defining a genre with Galaxie 500 and Luna, join Spacemen 3’s Sonic Boom, another bastion of indie’s collective adolescence, to bring to life a collection that draws from early ‘60s pop, garage, country, James Bond soundtracks, Christmas carols, and electronica. Dean Wareham recalls a sentiment from his DJ friend Chris: “You can experience all the emotions of Christmas through music: love and hate, joy and heartache, nostalgia, regret, anticipation, and frustration.” Their venture into a holiday album was organic, spurred by a few cover tunes over the years, a Christmas special during the pandemic, and finally collaborative sessions between Dean & Britta in L.A. and Sonic Boom in Portugal. The trio all contributed vocals, with guitars by Wareham, bass and keyboards by Phillips, effects, and mixes by Sonic. The result is an album of exploration as well as comfort, “like Bing Crosby...on acid,” Britta adds, the tracklist a reminder that the holidays are complex and tragicomic. If collaboration is the fuel, peace and mutual understanding is surely the fire, and A Peace of Us has us gathered around it. “Christmas is mostly for children anyway,” says Dean. Sonic adds, “Or the inner child in all of us. Goodwill to all men. Hopes and fears for the year to come. And light in the darkness. Where this festival began.”

Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) and Chuck Jones, the genius behind Warner Bros.' classic animation, collaborate to bring Dr. Seuss' beloved Christmas story to the screen - 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas'. The green and small-hearted Grinch hates Christmas, and he desperately wants to make all the Who's in the town of Whoville as miserable on Christmas as he is. He tries every underhanded trick he can think of to steal the every material vestige of the holiday, but he can't remove the spirit of Christmas from the hearts of the Who's. This soundtrack brings all the holiday spirit and nostalgia of the classical film to your turntable!
