Corona is throwing a spanner in the works and many of us will have to spend Christmas alone, for better or worse. It’s obvious that the usual Christmas songs by Wham!, Mariah Carey or Frank Sinatra won’t fit in. That’s why we’re listing ten alternatives here that will make even a lonely Christmas bearable.

The Ramones – “Merry Christmas (I don’t want to fight tonight)”
Just broken up with your partner but not yet ready to admit it to yourself? Especially not during the Christmas season, when the focus is on togetherness? Then this song by the Ramones is a must. This song puts us in the right Christmas mood, even when nothing is going as planned in life.

Prince – “Another lonely Christmas”
In addition to the memories and experiences that the virus has taken away from us this year, it has also snatched away many of our loved ones. We feel understood by Prince’s soulful voice and relatable lyrics. A Christmas song that feels like a shoulder to cry on.

Elvis Presley – “Blue Christmas”
We are celebrating our Christmas separately this year. Without parents, grandma, grandpa and siblings. If we are exemplary in avoiding any social contact, feel lonely and miss our loved ones, then the Elvis classic is a must for our solo celebration.

Ella Fitzgerald – “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?”
For those who long for a partner, especially when the clock rings in the new year at midnight.

Mud – “Lonely this Christmas”
Abandoned and alone on the day of togetherness? Then we’d rather listen to the song “Lonely this Christmas” by Mud, because the lyrics speak to us from the soul.

Sabrina Claudio – “Warm December”
Ok, even if we feel lonely, it’s not forbidden to dream of Christmas together. Sabrina Claudio’s “Warm December” is seductive and provides warmth and comfort on lonely nights.

Lil Nas X – Holiday
Being alone at this time of year is depressing. But that doesn’t mean we have to sit sadly on the sofa now. Old-Town-Road rapper Lil Nas X gets the party going with his song “Holiday” and makes trap suitable for Christmas.

Summer Salt – “Fire Flower”
This slightly melancholy indie rock song makes us forget our worries on Christmas Eve. A matching cup of warm cocoa – a balm for the soul.

The Hives, Cyndi Lauper – “A Christmas Duel”
For those who are fed up with the forced Christmas euphoria: “A Christmas Duel” is a rocking song with bold lyrics, as we know it from The Hives and Cyndi Lauper.

Sabrina Claudio feat. The Weeknd – “Christmas Blues”
Because it was so beautiful, here it is again: this song by Sabrina Claudio, this time with The Weeknd, is for everyone who wants nothing more than to spend Christmas together.
