What is your dream Christmas album?

I really want her to make a Christmas album because she's wanted to do one her whole career.

I would like a mix. Half original songs, half covers. It would good if some of the covers had a poprock/punk reworking. I think Wham's Last Christmas would sound good like that. Others would be good more traditional, like ending on a pretty piano version of White Christmas

I would like a mix of originals and covers, traditional hymns and contemporary songs, classic arrangements and maybe more pop/rock leaning songs. I just hope whatever she does, she puts her own unique spin on it because every artist at this point has done a Christmas album. Hers needs to stand out or else it’s just another Christmas album.

If she does any originals, they need to be strong. Original Christmas songs are difficult to write and have them be good, and capture the feeling of Christmas, without being too schmaltzy. But I wouldn’t want too many originals. 1-2 is fine. The rest can be hymns or contemporary classics. I really think Rockin Around the Christmas Tree will be on there and is probably one of the ones she’s done already. Maybe she re-recorded O Holy Night as well and I think she’ll probably do Silent Night. I hope she includes BICO too because her version is perfect!

Just originals for me. Not a big fan of covers - all the big Christmas songs have like 500 versions already, I don’t need another. Though I’m not at all interested in a Christmas album from her in general..but it’s inevitable at this point lol.

If she’s gonna do it I want fun Christmas songs - things like Taylor - Christmas Tree Farm, Kids In Glass Houses - Secret Santa, The Darkness - Christmas Time. Not dull ones like she’s covered in the past.

I would want some original songs if she worked with good writers and wrote about ideas personal to her (memories of Christmas as a kid, how different Christmas feels in LA versus snowy Canada, stuff like that). I just think if she's going to do original Christmas songs, it can't be all "fun and partying" because while that works for her normal albums, I'm not sure it would for a Christmas one. If she wanted to do an original "party" song, I actually think it would be interesting if it was inspired by the Christmas party her and Mod just had with the Jam Fam... can you imagine:

Feldy's out on the deck smoking cigars / Mod and Travis are watching from afar / Amy and I are drinking wine / admiring the Christmas lights / we're the only ones decorating / I can't believe Mod's not helping / it's so annoying / he's not listening / I'll put black ornaments on my tree / if he wants he can add some lime green / later we'll play beer pong and do keg stands / and I gotta beat Feldy cause I'm mad / he made me do a million vocal takes / maybe I'll just push him in the fireplace / at least my album will be out soon / I need to throw Mod into the pool / he's still not listening to me / Travis is talking to Kourtney / I don't need more Christmas cheer / I just need another beer

I was gonna try to be serious but then I started having fun with it haha. A few songs like that (obviously with better writing) might be kind of fun and different. I personally would love to see this (based on the songs I like and the fact that I don't see her doing Rudolph or Frosty type songs, and slower songs to allow her voice to shine like they do in What Child Is This):

1. Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
2. Original upbeat song
3. Last Christmas
4. Mary Did You Know
5. Jingle Bells
6. White Christmas
7. Silent Night
8. Original mid tempo / power ballad
9. All I Want for Christmas Is You
10. Wonderful Christmastime
11. Deck the Halls
12. The First Noel
13. Carol of the Bells (instrumental, I would love her instrumental take on that)

I haven’t been the biggest fan of her previous Christmas songs as I don’t like the production or sound of them. I don’t like the traditional/jazzy/orchestral sounds when it comes to Christmas music. Anything acoustic, folksy, or rock is good for me. Even ballads as long as they’re not too traditional sounding. But I listen to poppy Christmas music mostly, so that is what I’d wish from Avril.

Anything other than old traditional style is good for me.
