The

Christmas in July

July 30, 2022


We couldn’t be farther from Christmas (ahead and behind us), but there are some people in Los Angeles who are obsessed with it right now.

Those would be music supervisors looking for Christmas music for this December’s releases… and are willing to pay A LOT of money for it as in this example in the video above.

Music supervisors are always on the lookout for new original Christmas songs, but if you’re interested in recording a Christmas cover (without paying royalties or needing permission to sync it), you can find a handy list of holiday public domain songs here.

      Hey, I thought I recognized that great voice! Very pretty and heartfelt. Thanks for sharing, Kelly.

    Hey Chris!
    I wrote a Christmas song with a view to submitting it for licensing. I’d really appreciate your opinion and advice as its not a genre I’ve explored before. You can find it via the link below.

      Interesting approach and I like it. I think it suits your vocal approach and it has a real mix of flavors in there. It sounds like you have a huge band backing you up so you hit the mark even if you must-tracked it.

      Great song and very nice recording. Not a typical style for a Christmas song which makes it stand out. Good going.

    Hi Chris, would love your feedback on my song Christmas Dove. It’s an adult contemporary pop ballad with the hopes of commercial potential in the genre of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah and Sarah McLachlin’s In The Arms of An Angel. Hopefully you can see the beautiful painting my friend created for the song with this Disco link: https://s.disco.ac/spdppyauzbht

    https://s.disco.ac/ffeabfddozxf
    Hi again Chris,
    Good to see you keeping well!
    Here’s ‘Mistletoe’, a piano & flute ballad which could be a stand in for Joni Mitchell’s ‘River’. I also have a small collection of other Christmas songs including a Hank Williams yodelling cowboy tune that’s very much ‘Breaking Bad’ / Tarantino territory. I’ll be working on finishing the playlist & metadata on the longer set tomorrow, so let me know if there is any interest. Many thanks, Kirsty

    • Chris SD says:

      Lovely flute work and vocal, Kirsty. Just comment on the production, it might good to have a version without the subtle chorusing effect on your vocal.

  70. Charles Skip Wheeler says:

    Hi Chris,
    Here’s a song about ANGELS, done in a easy Doo-Wop / older Rock and Roll vintage flavor. Thanks for listening and ALL YOU DO FOR US!! Skip
    "C:\Users\Josh\Desktop\Skip Wheeler – Little Angel (1).mp3"

    • Chris SD says:

      That looks like a link to your track on your computer. You’d have to have it somewhere on the Internet for me to hear it.

  71. Amber Otto says:

    Hello Chris!!
    Here is a youtube link to an original Christmas song I wrote called "Christmas Time." This is about how there are unfortunate wordly events happening everywhere all the time but there’s something about Christmas that casts everything like this aside for a moment in time. It reminds listeners that miracles can happen even when hope looks bleak and there’s no time other than Christmas for those kinds of things to happen. You can also view the music video I made on my youtube channel as well.

    • Chris SD says:

      Thanks for sending Amber, I really like your song, but it would be great to hear more production on it. Music supervisors would need to hear more of that.

  72. Stephanie "Nialand" Hearon says:

    Thanks for this reminder, I definitely have an entire Christmas EP. Always looking to do more with it! http://ChristmasSync.Nialand.com
    One Stop, covers & Originals, Soul/Jazz

    • Chris SD says:

      I only had time to listen to one song with all the ones I received, Stephanie, but really interesting soulful/jazz approach to ‘Hark The Herald’.

  73. Kayte Deioma says:

    Hi Chris, Here’s my short playlist of Christmas originals written with different writers and singers: https://s.disco.ac/owybsplvwgkh

      I only have time for one song with all the submissions, Kayte, but I fully enjoyed the fist track, ‘Home for the Holidays’. Nice production and mix.

  74. Judy Nazemetz says:

    Hi Chris,
    Judy Nazemetz here. I have 4 Christmas songs at this link: https://judynazemetz.hearnow.com/christmas-cheer FAST TRACK SANTA (people say this song could have been on a Chuck Berry Christmas album) – featuring Albert Lee, TABLETOP CHRISTMAS (a dark yet delightful Manhattan Transfer in Disneyland touch – with tap dancing) featuring keyboard wizard JT Thomas, SANTA CAN’TCHA (a Billie Holiday/Eartha Kitt Santa Baby-like song only Mrs. Claus could sing), A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS CAROL (starts with majestic choir, then turns into a Beachboy-esque surfing Christmas tune extolling the virtues and idiosyncrasies of a Southern CA Christmas.)

    • Chris SD says:

      I really liked the Southern California Christmas song, Judy. I’ve been through quite a few of those!

    Hi Chris,
    here is a link to my Christmas song ‘Christmas Lights’. You have listen to it two years ago and liked it. It is one stop of course. The arrangement produces a Christmas vibe with a string arrangement and many acoustic elements. Here is a link to Disco:

    Hi Chris,

    Here is my original song "Christmas is You and Me".
    In the style of Mariah Carey (All I Want for Christmas is You).
    Starts with a slow soul intro and then goes into a Rock (Olivia Rodrigo’s style).
    Here is a link

  81. Simon Surtees says:

    Happy Christmas, Chris! 😉 Thank you for this pitch opportunity.
    I have two original Christmas songs for you: the first is a similar vibe to Mariah Carey’s famous song and the second has a male vocal a similar vibe to Stevie Wonder’s, ‘What Christmas Means To Me’ and LSD’s ‘Thunderclouds’.
    Both tracks are very retro-inspired with modern energy and Chris Mollere loved the first one in my pitch with him on your course.
    I am one-stop on behalf of both my co-writers.
    Best wishes,
    Simon Surtees

  82. Priscilla Connolly says:

    Hi Chris,
    Here’s a one-stop song called "Christmas with you", which I wrote recently. Ben Sokoler said he was going to pitch it for Christmas films that he is involved with, but I have not heard yet if he has been able to use it. Thanks for the opportunity.

    Thanks very much, This truly is a gift. My name is Robert Deioma aka Bubba Da Skitso. Many years in various parts of entertainment if you have google time.
    My song is "No Cash For Xmas!", a jazzy, upbeat, bouncy, brassy Blues song with great live horns. It’s basically a story about having no cash, but having and remembering love with family is the most important thing for Christmas.
