It’s the 3rd week of December and if you grew up in the 80s, Jim Henson’s 1977 holiday epic really needs no further explanation. Welcome to Frogtown Hollow.

West Indies Christmas (A Mixtape)

With the expansion of record disto during the 1960s, Christmas music experienced a notable regional surge. The following twenty track all vinyl mixtape covers most of that time period, from early 60s through late 70s.

Andy Cirzan is basically the Indiana Jones of overlooked #ChristmasMusic. If you don't know, he has an annual showcase on Sound Opinions. It's consistently an enlightening listen. Check out the #ChristmasMix here: www.soundopinions.org/show/1046 (Note: Actual footage of Andy's basement below...)

Christmas Mix 2025: A Bit of Christmas
Well, my Christmas mix can officially drink, as it has hit 21 years old. Lots of stuff from all over once again, a song in Norwegian, a couple songs in Spanish, an anarchist Christmas song from Sweden...

Happy Hanukkah (a bit early) to everyone! Excited to share a Hanukkah mix for the first time after about 20 yrs of collecting holiday sounds - www.mixcloud.com/radiorethink... - its made up of my all time favorites + a Klezmatics remix (Ben Mandelson’s) that’s kind of vanished from the web. Enjoy!

Does everyone know about Mummers? There was a segment on the public radio show Soundprint in 2005 that mesmerized me talking about this intrusive, mysterious, sometimes dangerous Christmas tradition of Newfoundland. I’d love to hear that audio again. Here’s a CBC 101 - m.youtube.com/watch?v=aXLH...

So surprised to see that one of the super secret tracks of the season is now out and easy to grab. It’s on this new Chess comp! song.link/s/4e7QQLyJUW... It’s a rare gem that took years to find. Had an unmarked sample of this & scoured for years… Staples? Pointer Sisters? Lenox Ave! #ChristmasMusic

Always a great mix from Bill Adler. He's not on Bluesky - but #ChristmasMix / #ChristmasMusic crate diggers should definitely be aware of his annual offerings - soundcloud.com/xmasjollies/... - there's a Norteño bit in here that is off the charts.

Aside from the fact that this is a total gem of a collection, and the amazing backstory of the source material - which is worth noting on its own - a big *heads up* - Zach is also now on Mixcloud! There are already some archives posted up there along with this one. Press play people... press play.
1/2 My new Christmas mix is out now and it's a really special one. Earlier this year I had the chance to go through the collection of my late friend Mitchell Kezin, director of the Christmas music documentary Jingle Bell Rocks! (2013).

Hampton is back dishing out the cranberry sauce and holiday tunes. Probably the only mix you’ll hear this season with both Fozzy and Shonen Knife. Thanks @hamptonoid.bsky.social!
Mix is up, 90s alternative rock theme. Turned out to be a tough choice, and I'd already used a lot of the top tracks. Anyway here it is.

Found a copy of this. Bill Adler flashes this cover momentarily in the Jingle Bell Rocks! documentary. I couldn’t find a sampling of it anywhere online and just took a chance. Solid front to back. Not typical #ChristmasMusic and doesn’t ooze holiday vibes, just a good album with great guitar work.
