Looking to re-energize your holiday music routine? Fairgale’s version of ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’ is the refresh your playlist needs.

The song was released last year on the 2023 Janeway Hospital fundraiser album A Trinity Hall Christmas, Vol.1, but this year it’s hit streaming services. Fairgale’s rendition brings a clean, almost sparse, sophistication to the classic Darlene Love hit.

The arrangement feels modern and engaging, with Fairgale striking a balance between reverence for the original and their own distinctive pop-rock style. The result is a fresh take that feels authentic.  For me, it even outshines U2’s version from A Very Special Christmas (1987)—the one I grew up with.

So, whether you’re decking the halls or stirring your slush, this track belongs on repeat.

Add it to your playlist and rediscover the joy of this modern holiday classic.
