Now that everyone, including radio stations, is streaming the classic Christmas carols, it can get a little repetitive. Whether you love or hate these songs, it’s refreshing to listen to new music that we’re not quite familiar with. From Snoop Dogg to My Chemical Romance and covers and takes from other genres, here are some diverse and unexpected alternatives outside of the oldies and mainstreams.

Our Goal
LAUSD's budget leaves the award-winning journalism program at Van Nuys High School with a $0 budget in the upcoming school year. Without YOUR support, The Mirror cannot cover its expenses, hurting students directly and putting something that took years to build at genuine risk of falling behind.
Please consider making a donation to cover other VNHS journalism program expenses this school year
