Neil Young has launched a new 107 minute Christmas playlist.
The playlist which includes 27 tracks, features wholesome footage of flaming logs in a fireplace, allowing music fans to enjoy the music without burning any fossil fuels.
Among these 27 tracks are several classic hits from Young, including Old Man, Heart of Gold, and Harvest Moon.
It also includes nine songs from Seven Gates: A Christmas Album, the 1994 collection by longtime collaborator Ben Keith. This was later rereleased as Xmas At The Ranch, which featured Young, Johnny Cash, J.J. Cale and others.
This playlist curated by Young, also includes two versions of Mozart's Greensleeves.
One was a solo recording taken from Broken Arrow Ranch in 1974, and the other being Seven Gates from Young who was accompanied by a 27 member boys choir.

Back in August, Neil Young explained why he cancelled shows from his tour with Crazy Horse.
Earlier this Summer, Young and the band called off remaining shows, saying that some band members had taken ill following a gig in Detroit.
Announcing this decision to cancel their tour via his Neil Young Archives website, Young said that they would have to take “a big unplanned break”.
“I was doing great and we were moving right along. Everybody’s loving the shows. Then I just woke up one morning on the bus and I said, ‘I can’t do this. I gotta stop.’ It was like I felt sick when I thought of going on stage”, he said.
The singer added: “My body was telling me, ‘You gotta stop.’ So I listened to my body. Then it gets into all the legal matters: ‘You got this, you got that, people bought tickets, they did this, they did that.’ I understand that. What matters to me is the art of playing, and the music. That’s what matters. That’s what people loved. That’s what they come to see. But if that’s not there, me going is not happening. My body told me to not do it”.
