Kristian Noel Pedersen

Toronto’s Kristian Noel Pedersen has released 27 EPs or albums of Christmas music, 26 of which are on his Bandcamp page. What started as a goof became a project that stretched him as an artist. We hear music from all phases of his Christmas career including (in order):

1. “Home Alone Pt. 1”

2. “Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis”

3. “All I Want for Christmas is You”

4. “A Step-Mother’s First (and Worst) Christmas Ever”

5. “Merry Christmas Baby”

6. “Christmas Without You”

7. “Hard Candy Christmas”

8. “Silver, Never Gold”

9. “What Are You Doing (on Christmas Eve)?”

10. “Pack Your Bags!”

We also hear a new song, “A Very Gen X Christmas” from The Static Dive.

In my conversation with Kristian, I mention the episode on Hanson with Isaac Hanson, and the one that traces the musical life of “Hard Candy Christmas.”
