This is literally the most literal song I could pick for today. I don't even like the song that much. But here it is:

Other than the obnoxious "Auld Lang Syne" I cannot think of many New Year's songs in the popular music canon. "My Dear Acquaintance (Happy New Year)" is a Peggy Lee cover, but I'd never heard of the song until this version was free through iTunes right after I got my first Apple product.
It's a cute little ditty and great way to wrap up the year.

The most '80s holiday pop song ever. That beat, Annie's detached vocal, the synths everywhere. I can't even imagine anything more dated yet more awesome.

There's a reason breakup songs reference winter. If the split was unwelcome, it feels like the dead earth under a blanket of snow is the only thing that gets what you're going through.
Taylor Swift's "Back to December" references the winter month for a relationship-specific reason but that snow-struck month is part of why it feels universal. Going back to December means going back to the cold time when the roses are dead.
Also, this song is reportedly about her breakup from Taylor Lautner. Her brain must've been buried under a foot of snow to lose that grade-A beef. Silly Tay-Tay.

Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson are two of my favorite female singer/songwriters. This song they did together for a Hotel Cafe Christmas album is winter perfection. The production is icy around the edges but the harmonies are sweet like hot chocolate. So pretty, like lazy snowflakes taking their time to drop to the ground.

Kelly Clarkson's new Christmas album is the best holiday release in years. "Winter Dreams (Brandon's Song)" is a one of the many highlights of the collection. Full album review here.
