Broken Peach sings 'Winter Wonderland' for Christmas

Again, merry Christmas! I closed this morning's entry by promising my readers a "second musical holiday post for ChristmasBroken Peach!" Enjoy Broken Peach - Winter Wonderland (Christmas Special).

"Winter Wonderland" is a song written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and lyricist Richard Bernhard Smith. Due to its seasonal theme, it is often regarded as a Christmas song in the Northern Hemisphere. Since its original recording by Richard Himber, it has been covered by over 200 different artists. Its lyrics are about a couple's romance during the winter season.

As a mashup, we have used a melody from the great Bruce Springsteen song: Dancing In the Dark.

"Dancing in the Dark" is a song written and performed by American rock singer Bruce Springsteen. It was the first single released ahead from his 1984 album, Born in the U.S.A., and became his biggest hit, helping the album become the best-selling album of his career.
The band from Vigo, Galicia, Spain followed up with Broken Peach - Christmas Special Streaming Show 2024 featuring their greatest Christmas hits.


I counted eleven songs, so Broken Peach has been performing Christmas specials even longer than they have Halloween specials. Congratulations on a decade of performing and pleasing their fans!

I close the concert portion with Merry Christmas Peaches!

Broken Peach wishes you: Merry Christmas!

And happy holidays full of health, new challenges, good wishes and lots of music!
I'm passing those wishes on to my readers.

I have been neglecting one of my holiday traditions this year, including a drink recipe video. To make up for it, I'm sharing Santa Claus Cocktail | Holiday Cocktails from Secret of the Booze.

Ingredients
3 oz Cranberry Juice
.75 oz Creme De Cacao
1/2 oz Peppermint Vodka
Heavy Creame [sic]

Direction
Add all ingredients except Heavy Cream into shaker tin. Shake up over ice. Strain into clean glass. Top with Heavy Cream Garnish with cranberries covered in sugar[.]

Finally, as Broken Peach themselves wrote ten years ago, "¡Feliz Navidad! - ¡Bo Nadal! - ¡Bon Nadal! - Eguberri! …. Merry Christmas!" Now stay tuned for Hanukkah, followed by year-end retrospectives through New Year's Eve.

  1. How could I resist Broken Peach doing the only Christmas song I actually like? Excellent performance.

    Nobody can accuse them of succeeding on the basis of sex appeal, though. Those costumes are so hideous they must have been deliberately intended that way.

    1. Glad you appreciated them. After all, you're the one who introduced me to them. As for their costumes, that's in the eye of the beholder. I enjoyed them.
