Classic jam or serious skip . . .
You either love them, or you hate them. But no matter how you feel, Christmas songs are here to stay. We’ve ranked our top-10 and bottom-10 Christmas songs that will most likely be stuck in your head for the rest of the month!
Our top-10 Christmas songs:
- “Feliz Navidad” - José Feliciano - I think we can all agree that this one will get you up and dancing. You can’t go wrong with this song.
- “Christmas Eve” - Trans Siberian Orchestra - I mean . . . C’mon. A definite head banger.
- “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” - The Jackson 5 - Young Michael Jackson can belt those lyrics and make you boogie too.
- “You’re a Mean One” - Tyler, The Creator - Yes. This is a great song. We will not be accepting any further questions.
- “Sleigh Ride” - Ronettes - Again, a classic that has an amazing beat to put you in the holiday spirit.
- “Wonderful Christmastime” - Paul McCartney - This has such unique instrumentals and is a good song in general, not just a good Christmas song.
- “All I Want for Christmas” - Mariah Carey - The Queen of Christmas—it would be disrespectful to give her anything less.
- “Last Christmas” - Wham! - George Michael, we love you. We are also sad that you got your heart broken on Christmas. Sorry man.
- “Santa Baby” - Ertha Kitt - She slayed this. (Or should I say, sleighed?)
- “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” - Brenda Lee - A classic that has the right lyrics, tempo, and instruments to really enjoy the holidays.
And the bottom-10 Christmas songs:
- “Little Drummer Boy” - Bing Crosby - More like pa-rum-pa-pa-pum-DUMB. (Thanks Mr. Kissick.)
- “Silver Bells” - Bing Crosby - Sad and boring.
- “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” - The Jackson 5 - Honestly, it’s just unnecessary and weird.
- “Santa Tell Me” - Ariana Grande - Sorry Ari, we just aren’t impressed.
- “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” - Gayla Peevey - Insufferable.
- “The First Noel” - Andy Williams - Again, sad and boring.
- "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman” - Bing Crosby - AGAIN, sad boring, and kinda creepy. Not the Christmas vibes we are looking for.
- “Mistletoe” - Justin Bieber - Justin, you’re lucky we didn’t put you at the worst slot.
- “Dominic the Donkey” - Lou Monte - How is this even considered a Christmas song?
- "Santa Baby” - Michael Bublé - Dude. Santa is not your buddy. Don’t be weird, please.
Now remember, it’s Christmas, so no fighting if you disagree with this list. Just know that it was generated using carefully calibrated scientific instruments and foolproof research techniques (okay, it’s just our opinion). Happy singing!
