Usually in the realm of novelty music... The Greatest Snowman... I'm a Christmas Tree, The McKenzie Brothers' Twelve Days of Christmas, Christmas Dragnet (Stran Freberg and I think Daws Butler (who was a voice actor for a lot of famous characters). "Most people call them green onions, but they're really Scallions." There's a few from the MST3K cast; Crow's Patrick Swayze Christmas, and Christmas Carol (but they're acknowledging all holidays and traditions and being politically correct)...

Soundtracks: I have one or two songs from Anna and the Apocalypse (Christmas Musical and Zombie movie), I would say a few songs from the soundtrack to "Spirited" (AppleTV Christmas movie)... of course, the soundtrack to Nightmare Before Christmas... There's "Scrooge" and "It Feels Like Christmas" (Muppet cast - It Feels Like Christmas is legitimately a great song, and Jerry Nelson (the voice of "Spirit of Christmas Present") brings it) (Both, of course, from Muppets Christmas Carol)...

Not often considered (at least with most of my friends)... There were limited release Christmas Albums to promote Target years ago, so there's some good stuff on there that isn't played much... Candy Cane Christmas (Darius Rucker - You know, from Hootie and the Blowfish, but he went country a while ago), I Wanna be with you (The National Parks)...

And then hundreds of covers of the well known Christmas songs. You could probably find three hours worth just by looking at covers for only a few songs.

I have three or four mixes for Christmas, all with a LOT of stuff; both the classics and a little more obscure) so if you want me to give you more of my lists, I'd be happy to.

I will share a Christmas playlist of mine that i enjoy each year, but "sad Christmas song" by twiztid and blaze ya dead homie is one of my favorites because it talks about an individual struggling with trying to just provide a Christmas for his family and the challenges he's facing.

Don't know if it's obscure but it's an old latin Christmas carol.

More recently “Christmas Dreaming”, sang by the lovely Stella Cole I’d throw in “Christmases when you were mine”, by Taylor Swift.
