To think ‘Underneath the Tree’ is the best Christmas song of the past decade?

[Bubbinsmakesthree]

Underneath the Tree by Kelly Clarkson has all the components of a classic Christmas song and ranks up there with Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You or Darlene Love’s Baby Please Come Home

YANBU - yes this is the best Christmas song in the last 10 years

YABU - make your case for your favourite below

Agree!

Yes I agree it’s good, I voted YANBU so not contesting, but another recent pop contender of the same ilk could be Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande

Nah.

I think Sia's Snowman deserves a place

I agree, I also really like the one by Leona Lewis, ‘One more sleep.’

It’s one of the few Christmas songs that I actually enjoy listening to

@Smileyaxolotl1 yes yes yes!!

@CrotchBurn. ah that’s such a sweet song!

Sia’s whole Christmas album is great, love her voice. Santa’s Coming For Us is a family favourite for dancing round the kitchen. Definitely a strong contender!

Yanbu great tune. I love Sia's Candy Cane Lane buy DH says it's crap

I love Candy Cane Lane!

Agree! Love having a dance around the kitchen to Underneath The Tree 🎄

I really like the one Jess Glynne has released

Which is a surprise because I'm generally not a fan

I was going to say the Leona Lewis one too :) I didnt actually know Kelly Clarkson sang Underneath the Tree until I heard a radio presenter talking about it

Another one here who shamefully likes Ariana Grande’s Santa Tell Me

I like the Killers Christmas album. Great Big Sled is my vote for best modern Xmas song.

Agree! Leona and Kelly’s are modern classics. Taylor Swift’s is also lovely, the video made me cry!

I think I'd vote:

1. Kelly Clarkson - Underneath the Tree
2. Sia - Santa's Coming for Us
3. The Killers - Don't Shoot Me Santa (which takes a little while to get going but the chorus is very catchy).

I do have a fondness for Ariana's Christmas album too

I love it and I also have a soft spot for Christmas Lights by Coldplay

Lapwings 2020 awesome Christmas song is the best

Another vote for Coldplay’s Christmas Lights.

Yep. It's 'my daughter's' song - desperately wished for IVF baby, I sang it all of last year when I was taking the drugs to try to make her.

Now, "you're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree

Tonight
I'm gonna hold you close
Make sure that you know
I was lost before you
Christmas was cold and grey
Another holiday alone to celebrate
But then one day everything changed
You're all I need
Underneath the tree

And then one day everything changed
You're all I need
Underneath the tree."

They're all awful, having worked in retail all my life we get our ears battered with them 5 days a week for 6 weeks, non-stop. Underneath the Tree is bearable on a miniscule level, topped only by Last Christmas. George is the king of Christmas, everyone else can quite frankly fuck off, especially Coldplay, Sia and Buble.

YABU Best Xmas song is Last Christmas, Wham. It will always be this. For ever and ever.

I love the whole CD but the new Jamie Cullem one is even better.

I like the Beverley Knight one too

I love love love Jamie Cullums new one and I generally can't stand him! All big band loveliness.
