Home for the Holidays – Emmy the Great & Tim Wheeler

When it comes to Christmas songs, it’s more of a case of who hasn’t as opposed to who has. Indie couple Emmy the Great and Tim Wheeler’s effort Home for the Holidays is, like every good Christmas song should be, incredibly kitsch and charming. With an instantly hummable chorus and sickly sweet lyrics that capture the Christmas Spirit, it’s a gorgeously clichéd winter-warmer.
