Why we can’t get enough of Kate Bush, and other under-recognised Christmas ‘hits’, at this time of year

Who needs 'Jingle Bells' when you could have Kate Bush? In honour of music artists we love, ArtsHub has compiled an alternative playlist to take you beyond the well-worn festive season hits.

For some people, the festive season is that special time when they assume they can blast pop hits by the likes of Wham! and Mariah Carey without fear of judgement.

For others, their Christmas playlists feature songs with far less mainstream recognition than those you’ve probably heard countless times already in the course of your Christmas shopping.
