Julie Aubé used to be part of indy folk trio Les Hay Babies from New Brunswick, where artists such as Lisa Leblanc, Les Hôtesses d'Hilaire and Marie-Jo Thério come from (Google it all). 'Ça c'est Noël' ('That's Christmas') has a lovely Acadian flavour, complete with a twangy guitar and references to mixed tapes to match the artwork's retro look. Tuques (winter hats), mittens, shovels and skates: this song has it all. It's comfort food for the Canadian soul, and hopefully for anybody else looking in.
If you buy the track, the money will go to a New Brunswick food bank. That's definitely Christmas.
