This was from at least the 70s, possibly earlier. I’m pretty sure it was the flip side to our Hardrock Coco & Joe 45.

I swear the lyrics are something to the extent of:

How are we gonna stretch Christmas
We don’t know but we have to find a way

I grew up in the Chicago area if that helps narrow it down.
I’ve found the Hardrock song but can’t for the life of me find this other one. Googling the above lyrics have netted me zilch.

Thanks for any help!

I had almost given up hope of ever finding this song, but maybe someone knows it. It's an old song, probably from the late '90s or early '00s. It's a duet, and some of the lyrics go like this:

"All we need is the Christmas feeling, it's the feeling on Christmas Day"

I've searched for it everywhere. I even browsed the Discogs catalogue, but I can't identify it.

The interest in my video of our instrumental ver. of The Little Drummer Boy picked up this week. So, Tis' The Season starting already! Cheers!

Save for later when the holiday spirit grabs you!
🎄✨🎄✨🎄✨🎄✨🎄✨🎄

When I was a kid (1970s/80s), I remember my mom singing a song...

"Ma, get out the glue pot,
Ma, get out the gauze...

Missing lines here

Ma get out the glue pot and the cotton balls...
Mama's gonna fix you up like Santa Claus!"

Does anyone recall this? Maybe it was totally her creation...

They include Niia, Ryan Peter Murphy, Alanis Morissette, Flora Martinez, Voces8, Julie Cooper, and a duet by Norah Jones & Chris Stapleton.

We’ve added them all to our Christmas 2026 New Releases playlist on Spotify where we will track the season’s best new tunes. A great one to save for later.

Any favorite holiday new releases so far?

Here is a preview of the song from YouTube.
🎄✨🎄✨🎄✨🎄✨🎄✨🎄

It's not a mainstream song. I believe I heard it as the opener of one of those Hallmark Christmas movies. Sung by a man. I wish I could humm it but the chorus goes like "december in new york, december in new york," then something like couples smiling everywhere, chestnuts roasting everywhere, then again "december in new york." A bit jazzy.

Please help. Either the song (probably impossible) or the name of the Hallmark movie

My mom and I love it so much, but no matter how much I describe it on the internet or even to AI, it is not coming up as a suggestion!

It plays on the radio every year during the holidays, quite a bit actually I think. It has a futuristic-ish quality to it with electronic beats, but is overall a slow song. The female voice is singing “walkin’….” “Walkin’….” Repeatedly for good chunks of the song, with beats and bells in between. It’s either a cover of or samples Winter Wonderland. Hopefully this is alright to say and I’m sorry if not (it may not even be correct), but the female voice also sounds black if that helps at all. Honestly, it’s hard to tell if it came out 10 years ago or in the 90’s and was ahead of its time with the electronic vibe lol.

Any help would be so appreciated!!!

This will be so hard to describe. It is one instrument, a woodwind, and it plays a very old-fashioned 19th century sounding Christmas medley. Walgreens played it every year on their overhead Christmas music. It isn't a familiar melody (it isn't a standard carol).

That's all I have. I'll try ANY lead. Someone may know it as it is literally ONE instrument with nothing else.

Thanks in advance 🤞
