There may not be that much snow on the ground in Montreal today, but the city looked more Christmasey earlier this month. That’s when local country folk rock and roller Jesse Stone and some musician friends braved the cold on Mount Royal’s lookout to bring some holiday cheer to the people who were there and now, via video, the rest of us.

This pop-up show consisted of one song with one message: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. So what better time for us to share that message with you.

Enjoy!

Sick of hearing the same old Christmas tunes year after year? Blue Christmas giving you the blues? Mariah Carey’s O Holy Night making you utter unholy curses? Here’s something that’ll inspire you to turn up the volume: The Nursery have just released their version of Last Christmas.

The band has redone this Wham! classic into a synth pop marvel and you can listen here!

Thanks for reinvigorating this tune, gents!  Stay tuned for the release of their full-length record coming next year.
