Here at SDTC we love CanCon. Oh boy, do we love it. And if you couldn’t tell from our gift guides, party dress round up, and seasonal craft fair coverage, we also love the holidays. So naturally we were PSYCHED when CBC started combining our two loves with their 12 Days of Christmas video series, featuring musical Canucks performing old and new festive classics. Our faves so far:

Chris Hadfield performs “Across the Universe”

Okay, so it’s not a Christmas classic, per se, but it is celebrity Canadian astronaut/charmer of the universe Chris Hadfield performing a huge Beatles number with a high school Glee club. SOLD.

USS  performs “Jingle Bells”

Dig this band, dig this tune, diggin’ it all the way.

The Barenaked Ladies perform “Footprints”

We love new, seasonal music that’s not “Christmas Shoes.” On board with this one in a big way.

Just can’t get enough of that sweet, sweet CBC + holidays combo? Listen to their expertly-curated indie holiday playlist here.
