By new I mean original songs, not covers of older standards.
I quite like Merry Christmas by Ed Sheeran and Elton John
Looking forward to listening to all of these suggestions 🙌🏼☃️
More than a little older than 5 years, but this is probably my favorite “new” Christmas song.
If you are into violin folk rock, Andrew Bird’s album Hark!
I love Andrew Bird
You know, I’m not a huge Billie Eilish fan, but when she performed the Christmas episode on SNL last year I fell in love with her Christmas renditions.
Also love Haley Reinhart’s rendition of Santa Baby. Very jazzy and fun.
Reyna - Does Mrs Claus Do That?

Just a heads up, the creator of the Obscurest Vinyl AI music channel is half crazy, but in a really good funny way!
You may like a song I co-wrote in an old band as a joke a few years back. We didn’t do anything with it really, but it eventually got played on local radio (once) which was quite nice.
I like the Vulfpeck track Christmas in LA. Technically it may be a cover, but I haven’t heard the original.
Seasons Greetings in the Abyss by Sleigher
A Yuletide reinterpretation of the Slayer classic, Seasons in the Abyss. Featuring members of Haken, Protest the Hero and Dream Theater.
It’s not quite what you asked for as it’s not an entirely new song, they add plenty of flourishes to it and entirely new lyrics, plus it’s just so silly and fun
California Holiday by Kadhja Bonet. It is a new song, not a re-recording or a remix. I also like how it doesn’t mention any particular holiday. It can represent whatever winter holiday you celebrate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EmcDL8psC4
Sorry I had to post the absolute best one. Even if you don’t like Marvel, the song about Santa by an alien who only has third hand information on him is absolutely hilarious and wonderful.
I’ve gotta throw J. Roddy Walston’s “Is it Christmas Tonight?” in the mix. It’s pretty catchy.
Questionable if it’s really a Christmas song, but maybe “tis the damn season” by Taylor Swift
