THEME TIME: Christmas (in) Hell

Theme time again, where we post the bestest songs on a theme. In this case, the combination of Christmas and hell.
Trigger: me listening to this glammy rocker by Crocodiles from 2020 again:

I remembered more songs with Christmas and hell in the title, like this classic from the South Park movie (1999):
Speaking of classics....

And yes, there are more, a LOT more songs with the Christmas & Hell theme. You'd think there would be a lot of metal, but no. You'd like some, tho? Go HERE.

This great song by a guy named Tim, who made a whole bunch of Christmas cover singles. In 2020, the year of COVID, he punked out his frustration on cancelled celebrations:

With a nod to COVID too, slacker-ish rock by GuestHouse about all kinds of unwanted stuff in your life really, 'I'm losing my shit can't you tell/It's Christmas in hell':

From 2012, you might expect metal from a band called Awesome Death (and an album called Dumptruck) but the quirky funk of Primus is a better of reference for this:

Cheating a bit, but this beautiful 2019 piano-ballad is too good to exclude. Jenn Blosil sings her heart out: 'All I've ever had to love is myself/Oh Christmas always hurts like hell.' Keep a handkerchief nearby.

Sounds like a home recording, this 2024 jangler by Butter Utter, 'Sweden's first punk band'. They have a Swedish version too:

Hell is: other people on an office Christmas party. Missed this one last year in our mega-Office Christmas Party Theme Posts, fellow Dutchman Rob from Amersfoort and his disgust:

More anti-Christmas cheer from Holland, from one of the bestest Dutch Xmas albums ever, by A Balladeer (2017):

I think David Smith drank a LOT of eggnog in 2020, then turned on this guitar and recording equipment for this song. Truly weird but fun. I wonder who blew the trumpet:

Orenthal, from Minnesota, starts this song with an apparent Richard Nixon-quote, then some easy acoustic guitar. And then his SCREAMO voice. Quite something, this track (from 2024):

Everything is cool about this, the poppunkrocking song from 2022, the title, the bandname, Young Satan in Love:

My favourite one is "There's No Christmas in Hell (And That's Why I'm so Sad)" by The X-Misses.
