We're feeling festive in the NAVY studio, so today's Friday tunes are going to be some quintessential Christmas songs to get us in the spirit of the season.

We've over all the traditional Christmas music that has been on repeat since November. So we've put together a few of our favourite alternative Christmas tunes to mix up your festive listening a little this year. From the soothing tones of our favourite Kate Bush, to The Kinks singing about mugging Santa, to the unlikey pairing of David Bowie and Bing Crosby.

Here are the alternative Christmas songs you need to check out.

Get the Christmas lights on, mull some wine, pop on your favourite cosy jumper and dig into some mince pies. The only thing missing is a good old Christmas movie to get you in the festive spirit. From the alternative to the traditional, these are our top 5 Christmas films you need to watch this week.

Edward Scissorhands
Admittedly we need little excuse to watch Johnny and Winona in the same film, but believe us, this really is a Christmas film. Everything comes to a head on the night of the Boggs' annual Christmas party as the tale of where snow really comes from is played out.

Scrooged
A modernised (well 80s) interpretation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol staring Bill Murray as a cynical TV exec taken on a dark and twisty trip full of black humour by the three ghosts of Christmas.

Bad Santa
Billy Bob Thornton is a very bad santa. Full of dark humour, evil deeds, heavy drinking, sex and profanities, this is certainly not a Christmas movie for kids.

Nightmare Before Christmas
The second Tim Burton film to appear on our top 5 festive flicks. Nightmare Before Christmas is a classic alternative xmas film blurring the boundaries between Halloween and Christmas.

It's a Wonderful Life
No December is complete with out the most traditional of Christmas films. It's a Wonderful Life is a heartwarming classic Christmas tale. A must-see at this time of year.
