Australian Christmas music: Advent calendar

Like a fine box of assorted chocolates, our Australian Christmas Music collection has something for all tastes.

We have cherrypicked a diverse collection of Christmas songs from the NFSA collection for your listening pleasure.

From traditional to humorous, respectful to risqué, this collection showcases the creativity and diversity of Australia’s musical talent (plus a couple of New Zealanders).

See also Australian Christmas Songs: 12 More Days of Christmas for even more!

This collection was first published in an Advent calendar format, with a new song added every day until it was completed with 24 tunes.

WARNING: this collection contains names, images or voices of deceased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
