Here at BSD, we love to celebrate the holidays with Christmas tunes. We know you probably have some favorites of your own, but we want to share our top 10 favorite Christmas carols that always having us turning up the radio or belting out the verses, and since tomorrow is Christmas Eve, what better time to get in the spirit than now?
10. Santa Claus is Coming to Town
What top Christmas song list is complete without one about Santa? Maybe we’re long past the point of believing in him, but this carol brings us back to childhood and all the excitement we felt this time of year.
9. Jingle Bells
Sure, hearing the eighty thousandth version of it on the 24/7 Christmas radio station probably gets old, but it’s a cheerful, joyful classic!
8. Sleigh Ride
Kind of a counterpart to Jingle Bells, Sleigh Ride is another upbeat, happy winter song that gets us bouncing. Oh, and it totally makes us wish we had an old-fashioned sleigh to go for a ride in.
7. Holly Jolly Christmas
Who can resist this jovial Christmas song? We can’t! Holly Jolly Christmas spreads the cheer around, whether you’re listening to Burl Ives or Johnny Marks version.
6. Let it Snow
Okay, listen to this song – whichever version you want – and then look us right in the eyes and tell us it doesn’t make you want to snuggle up with a cup of hot cocoa and warm up in front of the fireplace.
5. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
This song brings a bit of tradition and a bit slower of a pace. Judy Garland made this song famous in 1944, but our favorite version is Karen Carpenter’s, whose velvet voice makes us feel super-cozy.
4. Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle Bell Rock is just one of those tunes you can sport some jazz hands to that really gets you in the Christmas mood. Bonus points for being a feature in holiday classic Home Alone.
3. Winter Wonderland
While Winter Wonderland was originally recorded by Felix Bernard in the early 1900s, artists from Elvis Presley to Michael Buble (swoon!) have their own version of this song, and it’s enough to turn our frowns upside-down when the snow starts to fall.
2. All I Want for Christmas is You
You didn’t expect us to miss this one, did you? Mariah Carey’s new classic (and no, we do NOT acknowledge the new version with Justin Bieber) is all about love, and we just love to love around the holidays. We can’t belt it out like the diva herself, but we sing along within the safety of our own homes.
1. White Christmas
It’s not the Christmas season until we’ve listened to this song multiple times. And you can pick whichever cover you want, but we stick to the original from the Crooner himself: Bing Crosby.
