The holiday
s are finally here! If you’re like me, you’ve been obsessing over peppermint mochas and plotting gift ideas before Halloween was even over. But if you’re just starting to get your gift ideas together or are looking for the perfect present, consider picking up these items from some of our favourite Canadian artists.
A Jann Arden Christmas
If you feel like being super 
Canadian and super Christmasy, look no further than Jann Arden’s A Jann Arden Christmas. The album is Arden’s latest studio work and contains all your favourite holiday tracks. It comes in a festive red coloured vinyl to bring the holiday spirit. Bring this to the family party, listen while sipping mulled wine, and wearing your best ugly Christmas sweater. You can buy the album here.
Jess Moskaluke’s Past The Past
Country music’s Jess Moskaluke has recently released her newest EP, Past The Past. The EP features her hits, “Drive Me Away” and “Kill Your Love”. May not be Christmas themed, but it should certainly be under the tree for any Country music fan this Christmas.
The Tenors’ Christmas Together
Does Christmas get better than The Tenors? Probably not. Give this to your nephew who is a classical voice major. Watch his eyes light up as he sings along to all the tracks when you gather round the Christmas tree. Choir enthusiast approved tracks include “O Come All Ye Faithful” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” Get the album in all its glory here.
