Newfoundland & Labrador Christmas Music Advent Calendar
2024 Edition
Discover a curated selection of my favourite Christmas music from talented Newfoundland & Labrador artists. Spanning a variety of genres—from folk and pop to classical and rock—this eclectic playlist captures the unique spirit of the season.
Starting December 1st, I’ll be sharing a new song or album daily, leading up to Christmas Eve on December 24th. Tune in each day for a festive musical treat that celebrates the rich and diverse sounds of Newfoundland & Labrador!
It’s Tibb’s Eve… only two days until Christmas! Spend some of your day listening to Tim Baker’s Saint Tibb’s Suite.
Three days until Christmas — HarpistKT’s rendition of ‘Carol of the Bells’ is subtle and powerful. Check it out!
4 days until Christmas… and Kim Stockwood is giving me a hankering for a martini…
It’s Christmas in 5 days… that’s the opening line of Jason W. Gill’s ‘This Christmas’.
6 days until Christmas… Make the season merrier with this country-flavoured Christmas song from Gregg Bolger.
