The Best Christmas Songs List: 50 Greatest Hits!
Some songs have a way of showing up every December, whether you plan for them or not. They drift through stores, car radios, and family gatherings, slowly turning ordinary days into something that feels like Christmas.
When we are decorating the house for Christmas, we like to play tunes to put us in the Holiday mood. I am particular and only like certain versions in certain voices! So, I have researched for you to help you build your Christmas Songs list from my favorites below!
I spent hours looking for the best version of the best Christmas songs of all time! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do… Merry Christmas! As you flip through the list and the versions I prefer, I think it will be very obvious that I was a child of the 80s in the South. LOL!
So, this list is not just different versions, there are 50 different Christmas songs here perfect for your Christmas Cookie Exchange or Christmas Party!
What are fun ways to get in the holiday spirit?
Here are fun, low-effort ways to slip into the holiday spirit without overthinking it:
- Put on a Christmas playlist while doing everyday things like cooking or driving
- Watch one classic holiday movie you’ve already seen a dozen times
- Light a seasonal candle or bake something that smells like December
- Drive around at night and look at holiday lights
- Wear festive pajamas or a cozy holiday sweater at home
- Make a simple hot drink and slow down for 10 minutes
- Wrap gifts early and play music while you do it
- Pull out old ornaments and remember where they came from
- Do one small tradition you loved as a kid
- Text a friend or family member a simple “thinking of you” holiday message
