Our fave Christmas-themed new releases from Australian artists

It's that time of year again, and if you're searching for new tracks to add to your Christmas day playlist, here's some of our top suggestions!

Starting off with a few cool tunes that would fit easily into virtually any playlist - Christmas Today by Nasman Donovan is a chilled-out jazz-inspired groove, wishlist by 4orttune is some dope hip-hop, and Island Christmas by Prinnie Stevens is a catchy soul-pop piece.

If you're after something romantic, try any of these picks - Christmas everyday by nathan vega is soft and sweet, Fireplace by Faisal Ryan is those who love a crooner, and All I Want For Christmas Is Just You by Kaiwyn is perfect if you're pining for someone.

Country music fans will find plenty to choose from - take your pick from Christmas Time Machine by Melanie Dyer or Hard Candy Christmas by The Audreys for sad vibes, choose Saddle Up Santa by Studio8 for happy vibes, or try Hot Cross Buns on Boxing Day by Duplicity for a bit of introspection.

Speaking of introspection, here are some other contemplative Christmas tracks - weird Christmas by Lucy Sugerman and Paper Hats and Mistletoe by Summer Giddings are piano ballads to touch your heart, Times Like These by Grace Cummings and Jim James has a real carol-like quality, and Ham & Holy Water by My Pet Rhino and Lee-Loo is something truly epic.

And if you just want something that's pure Aussie Christmas fun - you can't go past the cover of Jingle Bells by Disgraceland and Frenzal Rhomb!
