‘Ho Ho Hopefully’ – The Maine
If you’re a pop-punk fan, you probably kicked December by posting some variation of “December 1st, I’m in a foreign state, I’m running late” —because it’s officially ‘Ho Ho Hopefully’ season. What even is the holiday season without The Maine? The song is the perfect mix of sweet and optimistic, even if it leans into a little holiday cliché with lines like “Hopefully this holiday will remind us where we’re supposed to be.” It’s the track that gets you in the mood to celebrate, whether you’re ready for the holidays or just pretending to be!

‘Silent Night’ – Broadside
Broadside is one of our favorite bands here at The Honey Pop, so it’s no surprise their cover of ‘Silent Night’ made the list. If you’re looking for a more intimate, stripped-back holiday track, this version is exactly what you need. Frontman, Ollie Baxxter’s, hauntingly beautiful vocals take center stage, showcasing his incredible range and adding a heartfelt, serene touch to the timeless classic.

‘Ordinary Christmas’ – State Champs
You can’t have a “Punk Goes” list without State Champs, and their track ‘Ordinary Christmas’ is a must-have. The song perfectly blends the band’s high-energy pop-punk sound with a brutally honest take on the holiday season—overspending, overindulgence, and dodging those dreaded family questions. It’s a raw reminder that Christmas isn’t always as cheerful as it seems, but there’s comfort in knowing we’re not alone in that.

‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ – My Chemical Romance
My Chemical Romance’s cover of ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ brings a whole new vibe to the holiday classic. Rather than the usual upbeat cheer, the band gives it a darker, more atmospheric spin that feels like something straight out of their The Black Parade era. Gerard Way’s emotive vocals and the band’s signature sound transform the song into a haunting yet oddly fitting holiday anthem. It’s a perfect mix of festive and melancholic, ideal for anyone looking for a different kind of Christmas spirit.

‘Yule Shoot Your Eye Out’ – Fall Out Boy
Who doesn’t love a little attitude with their holiday cheer? Fall Out Boy’s ‘Yule Shoot Your Eye Out’ is the perfect track for anyone who’s just over the whole holiday season. With its blatant sarcasm, the song channels that feeling of being done with the forced cheer and stress that comes with Christmas. And with Patrick Stump’s soaring vocals leading the charge, it’s the ultimate anthem for anyone ready to embrace the “bah humbug” vibe this year.
