Tired of the same old Christmas tunes? Tune in to The Current for a twist on traditional holiday music. Starting Dec. 23 at 10 a.m., it's A Current Christmas! You'll hear a mix of holiday music, from classic favorites to new takes on old standards. Plus, you'll hear The New Standards Holiday Show at 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve, and again at 8 a.m. on Christmas morning.

Here are a few more "stocking stuffers" from your friends at The Current:

Check out The Current's Yule Log: A festive video fireplace, with a vinyl spin.

Miss the title of that song? See our playlist.

Have a look at some holiday-weekend programming highlights, including a Local Show that features all Minnesota-made holiday music.

See how Mary Lucia will be spending this Christmas and probably every Christmas from now on.

Watch video of Lydia Liza and Josiah Lemanski singing their new "Baby It's Cold Outside" in The Current studio.

Watch a new video for "Please Come Home for Christmas" by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings.

Read Bill DeVille's review of the new album, A Very Kacey Christmas, by Kacey Musgraves.

Launch the Rock the Cradle Radio Stream for even more holiday music, with a special nod to music for kids and grownups alike.

Happy Holidays from all of us here at The Current!
