Amazon Music's exclusive line-up of Christmas songs has been released, including tracks from George Ezra, Camila Cabello and Alessia Cara. 

A selection of the songs - which will only be available to Amazon Music subscribers and through devices such as the Echo and Alexa - are available to start streaming from now.

George Ezra will release Come On Home For Christmas, a reworked take on Charles Brown's Please Come Home For Christmas, while Camila takes on Bing Crosby's I'll Be Home For Christmas, and rising star Olivia Dean performs her rendition of The Christmas Song.

Other artists also participating in this year's line-up include rising British star Olivia Dean, Summer Walker, country duo Dan + Shay, Norah Jones and Chinese pianist Lang Lang. 

For the past two years, the exclusive Christmas songs available via Amazon Music have proved exceedingly popular in the run-up to Christmas. Last year, Jess Glynne's This Christmas rose to a peak of Number 3 on the Official Singles Chart, while in 2019 Ellie Goulding's cover of Joni Mitchell's River became her third UK Number 1 single

Nice to see She & Him in there - in case anyone doesn't know, the "She" is the wonderful Zooey Deschanel :)
