Christmas is just around the corner, and nothing sets the holiday mood quite like festive music. Everyone has their favorites, from classic carols to modern hits.
What are YOUR top 10 Christmas songs? Whether it’s a childhood favorite, a new release, or a song that makes your whole family sing along!
To get the ball rolling, here’s my starter list:
- “All I Want for Christmas Is You” – Mariah Carey
- “Last Christmas” – Wham!
- “Jingle Bell Rock” – Bobby Helms
- “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” – Brenda Lee
- “Silent Night” – Bing Crosby
- “Feliz Navidad” – José Feliciano
- “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” – Andy Williams
- “White Christmas” – Bing Crosby
- “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” – Jackson 5
- “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” – Band Aid
What would you add or swap out?
Good choices, everyone. I also like:
“Happy Christmas (War is Over)” - John Lennon
“Carol of the Bells” - Trans-Siberian Orchestra
“(There’s No Place Like) Home For the Holidays” - Perry Como
“O Come All Ye Faithful” - Nat King Cole
“O Holy Night” - Josh Groban
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” - Frank Sinatra
“Merry Christmas Darling” - Karen Carpenter
“Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!” - Ella Fitzgerald
“Santa Claus is Coming to Town” - Jackson 5
“Run Rudolph” - Chuck Berry
“Blue Christmas” - Elvis Presley
I love the entire Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack by Vince Guaraldi as well, including the iconic “Skating.” Oh, and you can’t forget to add the beautiful music of the Nutcracker to any Christmas playlist!
