It Can’t Be ChristmasTom Grennan
The British singer-songwriter Tom Grennan released an Amazon Music exclusive in November 2024—a warm Christmas song that blends soulful pop with indie folk.

In the chorus, the line “It’s not Christmas without you” is repeated, underscoring the message that spending the holiday with the one you love is the essence of Christmas.
As part of the promotion, Grennan surprised passersby with an impromptu performance at London’s St Pancras station.

The lyrics, which dwell on lingering feelings and pain for a past lover, pair with the season’s distinctive sentimentality to deeply move listeners.
Having been performed live, the track’s release was highly anticipated by fans.
It’s a recommended listen for anyone spending the Christmas season on their own.
