Schmutzie's 2021 Untraditional Xmas Mixtape
2021’s full untraditional Xmas mixtape is about 2 hours long and has 32 holiday, punk, alternative, hip-hop/rap, pop, rock, R&B/soul, and dance songs across 8 decades. This playlist is available on Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, and Amazon Music (28 of 32 songs), and, if you scroll to the bottom, you’ll find embedded widgets you can play right here. The songs are in reverse order by year and then alphabetically by artist within each year.
There are two rules I tried to follow with this playlist: no covers and no Christmas standards or carols. I’m not 100% certain that none of the songs are covers, but I’m not terribly concerned. Flexibility is a strength.
Merry Xmas if you like it!
