"Alone For Christmas," Sofia Talvik (self-issued)

Sofia's been a staple at Mistletunes since she began issuing new original Christmas songs annually back in the mid-aughts, especially since they are typically free downloads with occasional physical releases. The Swedish singer-songwriter is back in 2023 with this sweet ballad about loneliness on the holiday, with the slightest tinge of hope included. Zip over to Bandcamp and grab it for yourself. It's also up for streaming if you prefer it that way.
