Short list

I just encountered The Priests for the first time because they played a cover of "Christmas Wrapping" for 2018's third annual Stereogum Christmas Show. I'll have to link you to it because I can't embed the Facebook video. No plans to release this as far as I know.

Elton John is rereleasing "Step Into Christmas" as an EP this year. The other two songs are the original B-side, "Ho! Ho! Ho! (Who'd Be a Turkey at Christmas)," and a live version of the A-side performed with Elton's original backup band on "The Gilbert O'Sullivan Show," which I didn't recall was once a thing.

And we raise BBQ Becky to her well-deserved infamy on the cover of this year's Mistletunes mix disc, Hello 911? First, Merry Christmas....
