If you want a fresh, yet familiar addition to your holiday playlist, you need to check out Christmas Time! by Matthew Hender. It’s an original track from his new album Winter Solstice, but it feels like it’s been part of Christmas traditions forever.

This song is melodic and instantly charming, with a warm, nostalgic vibe that borrows subtle cues from classic Christmas songs, making it feel like an old favorite even on your first listen.

I’m not sure why, but Christmas Time! Gives me Rufus Wainwright vibes… and, really, that’s never a bad thing.

It’s festive, fun and sophisticated; the perfect addition to any holiday playlist.
