There are thousands of Christmas songs out there and they all put you in that holiday mood. Now narrowing it down to just ten was extremely hard to do! In no particular order here are a ten Christmas tracks that never seem to get old.
1. “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” by Dean Martin
Dean Martin’s honeyed vocals lend themselves to many Christmas classics but this one is his finest moment. The aural equivalent of kicking your boots off after a snowy walk and warming your feet by a fire (or a radiator) speaks to every human being out there.
2. “Walking In A Winter Wonderland” by Michael Bublé
There are probably over 200 versions of this song but it’s hard not to be smitten over Michael Bublé’s buttery and unforgettable vocals with this timeless track. Regardless of who sings this, it is everyone’s favorite!
3. “Believe” by Josh Groban
Ahh the memories! A beautiful ballad from the blockbuster movie The Polar Express.
4. “Most Wonderful Time of the Year” by Andy Williams & Robert Mersey
This is the song you’ll hear in every Christmas movie, shopping mall, and on the radio on repeat but don’t fret because IT IS the most wonderful time of the year!
5. “All I Want For Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey
This one is a given for the holidays. Turn up the volume when this fan favorite comes on and dance around your room (or car) and belt it. Mariah Carey definitely will put anyone in the mood with this timeless track.
6. “Last Christmas” by Wham!
Sure, this ‘80s pop classic may have been released before any of us were born, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all rock out to this track at a holiday party.
7. “Sleigh Ride” by Boston Pops Orchestra
Another Christmas favorite is this magical instrumental classic of trumpets, strings, jingle bells, horse-hoof clicks, and the popular “whip” brings together the scene of trotting through Central Park during the wintertime!
8. “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” by Johnny Mathis
There may not be snow on the ground yet, but lights and wreaths are hung throughout town streets making it seem like Christmas is before us. Listen to this popular track while baking holiday treats or wrapping up presents, just to put you in the mood.
9. “Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy” by Tchaikovsky
No Christmas is complete without sold-out shows from the fairy-tale ballet, The Nutcracker. Tchaikovsky’s classical score is beautifully composed of unique twinkling instruments, one in particular called a celesta.
10. “Feliz Navidad” by Jose Feliciano
A catchy tune that gets stuck in your head on repeat faster than any other holiday jingle and is for just about everyone!
Keep calm and get your Christmas jingle on with these popular hits!
