By new I mean original songs, not covers of older standards.
I quite like Merry Christmas by Ed Sheeran and Elton John
Yeah, that was the only new Christmas song I could come up with.
Does Valhalleluja count?
Yes, holy shit, this is gold.
Excellent pick!
I initially had a negative reaction, but it’s grown on me. I’ve listened to it 3 times and have added it to my christmas playlist.
More than a little older than 5 years, but this is probably my favorite “new” Christmas song.
Looking forward to listening to all of these suggestions 🙌🏼☃️
Been a fan of Kacey Musgraves’ christmas show & album

This?
Edit: I really like Willie Nice Christmas
Christmas Pain in Christmas Town by Hot Dad which was featured in the game Hypnospace Outlaw.
You know, I’m not a huge Billie Eilish fan, but when she performed the Christmas episode on SNL last year I fell in love with her Christmas renditions.
Also love Haley Reinhart’s rendition of Santa Baby. Very jazzy and fun.
I really enjoy the ethereal aspect she adds to her music.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I like the Vulfpeck track Christmas in LA. Technically it may be a cover, but I haven’t heard the original.

Just a heads up, the creator of the Obscurest Vinyl AI music channel is half crazy, but in a really good funny way!
If you are into violin folk rock, Andrew Bird’s album Hark!
I love Andrew Bird
Sorry I had to post the absolute best one. Even if you don’t like Marvel, the song about Santa by an alien who only has third hand information on him is absolutely hilarious and wonderful.
California Holiday by Kadhja Bonet. It is a new song, not a re-recording or a remix. I also like how it doesn’t mention any particular holiday. It can represent whatever winter holiday you celebrate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EmcDL8psC4
Seasons Greetings in the Abyss by Sleigher
A Yuletide reinterpretation of the Slayer classic, Seasons in the Abyss. Featuring members of Haken, Protest the Hero and Dream Theater.
It’s not quite what you asked for as it’s not an entirely new song, they add plenty of flourishes to it and entirely new lyrics, plus it’s just so silly and fun
Carly Rae Jepsen - “It’s Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rF9ST-j3u4M
