Top 10 Christmas Songs Of All Times

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, Christmas is finally here - the season of stuffing yourself with mince pies, competing with your neighbours about the best decoration and, last but not least, listening to cheesy music about finding the love of your life on Christmas. But let's face it, Christmas songs are pretty much the best part about the whole season, and many even begin to their festive playlist in November already. No judgement there! But what song is better - is it Mariah Carey's anthem or Wham's attempt to forget their lover? What about Michael Buble, though? Below you can find our selection of the top 10 Christmas songs ever created. So go grab a mulled wine, get some chocolate and relax while listening to these timeless classics.

Last Christmas - Wham!

Giphy / Via Giphy

Let's be honest - who doesn't binge-listen to this song as soon as Christmas season kicks in? This song is not only legendary, but it's also absolutely brilliant to sing along with and pretend your heart got terribly broken last Christmas (maybe it even was?!).

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey / Via Giphy

'Make my wish come truuuuuueee, baby all I want for Christmas....iiiiiiiiis youuuu"- You just read that in Mariah Carey's singing voice didn't you? Just like 'Last Christmas' this song is an absolute anthem and most certainly not one to miss out on your playlist.

Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney does not only know how to create songs alongside The Beatles but also has the ability to release pretty festive songs - just like 'Wonderful Christmastime'. If you don't fancy an up-beat Mariah Carey, then this one is a fantastic alternative to switch things up with its funky beat. So thank you, Paul - we are having a wonderful Christmas time with this song indeed.

Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms

Mean Girls / Via Giphy

Who else thinks about the rather naughty scene in America's high school comedy Mean Girls while listening to Jingle Bell Rock? We certainly do. But short skirts and provocative dancing aside - there is no Christmas without listening to Jingle Bell Rock at least a gazillion times.

Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes

Giphy / Via Giphy

No matter where you go - if it's a shopping centre, a Christmas market or simply sit on your couch and watch TV, this song is guaranteed to come on! And we can't blame them, Sleigh Ride might be an old song but it's still pure gold.

Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - John Lennon

Giphy / Via Giphy

What is not only a beautifully composed Christmas hymn also marks as a protest song against the Vietnam war back in 1969 - Both Lennon and his wife and collaborator Yoko Ono were actively involved in peace activism campaigns during this time. Either way, Happy Xmas stays a festive song during Christmas to this date.

Driving Home For Christmas - Chris Rea

Chris Rea perfectly captures the importance of being with your loved ones during the festive holiday. Because let's face it, even though your relatives can genuinely drive you insane, spending quality time with them on Christmas is what it's all about.

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - Jackson 5

Giphy / Via Giphy

Just listen to these incredibly pure and soulful vocals from the Jackson 5. Who could ever resist to hear this song during Christmas? We most definitely cannot - hence their take on 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus' marks an important spot in our festive playlist.

Wonderful Dream - Melanie Thornton

Giphy / Via Giphy

You might recognise this tune from a Coca-Cola Christmas advert, or you might not. Either way, Wonderful Dream will get you all in your feelings and we are more than sure that you will sing along with utmost fervor. Don't worry, we don't judge you.

Thank God It's Christmas - Queen

Giphy / Via Giphy

Last but definitely not least, Queen's 'Thank God It's Christmas' is our final recommendation for your Christmas playlist. The title pretty much speaks for itself but Freddy Mercury's vocals are what makes it amazing. We have all been waiting for Christmas, so Queen definitely say what everyone is thinking.

Happy Holidays, and enjoy listening!
