“All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey
C’mon, this anthem is an absolute classic, and we all know you can only listen to it this time of year. So turn the speakers up and blast this tune until Santa comes down the chimney.
“Mary Did You Know?” by Clay Aiken
Yes, Clay Aiken has sung about 500 Christmas songs, but this one is the best! A beautiful rendition of this classic melody, Aiken delivers the heart of Christmas in this version.
“The Little Drummer Boy (Peace on Earth)” by Bing Crosby and David Bowie

It honestly doesn’t get more classy than Crosby and Bowie–put them together and it’s a holiday song for the ages!
“Last Christmas” by Wham!
This heart-breaking ballad sung by George Michael doesn’t get more bittersweet than this. You don’t even have to have gone through a break-up to get your heartbroken by this song.
“Thank God it’s Christmas” by Queen
You’re off for the holidays, the tree is decorated, the presents are bought and wrapped, and all the cooking is done. All there’s left to do is turn on this song and celebrate the season.
“Step into Christmas” by Elton John
This is the definition of a bop, and I would argue no matter what time of year it is, it can get you moving and grooving.
“Funky Christmas” by RuPaul
The Queen of Drag Race is also the queen of Christmas with this classic song that’ll have you singing along.
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by Sam Smith
Finally, it doesn’t get any more classically Christmas than this tune, but one would argue that Sam Smith’s version is the best.
