On this quiet, little Sunday night, I’m all about a nice glass of red wine and some sweeeet holiday music. If your current mood is also set to next stop: Christmas on the tra-la-la train, here are five unexpected versions of traditional Xmas tunes that’ll totally take you there:

1. The Christmas Song – Jane Monheit and Mark O’Connor

2. It’s Only Christmas – Ronan Keating

3. Maybe Next Year – Meiko

4. Silver Bells – Alice Smith

5. Hey Parker, It’s Christmas – Ryan Adams
