Barenaked for the Holidays

Barenaked Ladies

Warm acoustic instrumentation and signature tight harmonies applied to a mix of holiday classics, Hanukkah songs, and witty winter originals.

The only holiday album that manages to be both genuinely funny and musically impressive without being cheesy.

A cheerful and musically sophisticated celebration that balances clever wit with genuine seasonal warmth.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The intricate, minor-key vocal interplay on the medley of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and We Three Kings.

Michael Bublé's guest appearance on Elf's Lament, where the band's wit meets classic crooner swing.

The transition into the bagpipe-inflected swell during the closing moments of Auld Lang Syne.
