This song is a rendition of the well-known classic song, Drummer Boy. In the Justin Bieber edition of the song, it includes a rap verse and a more hip-hop like vibe overall!

Snowman (by Sia)
The song Snowman is a fairly new song and maybe one you may not have listened to before but don’t underestimate it! Sia dropped a Christmas album in 2017, Snowman became the most popular song on the album but still wasn’t very well known. I definitely recommend giving it a listen and adding it to your holiday playlist.
