The Holy Night Orchestra by Jesus McMillan (maybe the best name ever?) deliver solid holiday party background tunes on their album “Merry Christmas.” This album is filled with mostly traditional holiday songs and “Last Christmas” and oddly enough “The Neverending Story”…

The Holy Night Orchestra By Jesus McMillan – Last Christmas

You can get the whole mp3 album on amazon.

We featured Sugarcube back in Year One and briefly mentioned the other versions available and Sugarcube’s danceability factor. Everything we said about them and their cover still hold true, but here are two more mixes.

Sugarcube Inc. – Last Christmas (Architechs Remix)

Sugarcube Inc. – Last Christmas (Cuva Remix)

If you’re a Sugarcube Inc. completist, you can buy this import single for $129…or you can download it for $4.95.


Bliss are a 6-piece vocal group from Switzerland and really pretty fantastic. Of all the a cappella covers we’ve featured, this may be my favorite. They have a weirdly funny/awesome cover of U2’s “With or Without You” to stream on their site, and perhaps best of all, an incredible delivery of the Golden Girls’ theme “Thank You For Being a Friend.”

Bliss – Last Christmas


You have to appreciate a band that has a sense of humor..
