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

Xmas Smile

Agree!

LittleRa · 20/12/2020 11:25

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

CrotchBurn · 20/12/2020 11:27

Nah.

I think Sia's Snowman deserves a place

Smileyaxolotl1 · 20/12/2020 11:29

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

TheNanny23 · 20/12/2020 11:30

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

Coolcatsandkittens · 20/12/2020 11:33

@Smileyaxolotl1 yes yes yes!!

Bubbinsmakesthree · 20/12/2020 11:36

@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 Sad

GrimDamnFanjo · 20/12/2020 11:46

I love Candy Cane Lane!

Marilla1966 · 20/12/2020 11:55

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

EverythingsComingUpRoses · 20/12/2020 12:03

I really like the one Jess Glynne has released

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

YerAWizardHarry · 20/12/2020 12:04

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

Luckyrabbitfoot · 20/12/2020 12:05

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

VienneseWhirligig · 20/12/2020 12:05

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

Rachetine · 20/12/2020 14:24

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

EndemicPanda · 20/12/2020 14:43

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 Blush

Furrybootsyecomfy · 20/12/2020 14:44

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

geekone · 20/12/2020 14:57

Lapwings 2020 awesome Christmas song is the best

SingANewSongChickenTikka · 20/12/2020 14:58

Another vote for Coldplay’s Christmas Lights.

October2020 · 20/12/2020 15:08

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."

SailorKerry · 20/12/2020 15:09

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.

IwantToDatePicard · 20/12/2020 15:10

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

Disfordarkchocolate · 20/12/2020 15:11

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

BuntyBonus · 20/12/2020 15:28

I like the Beverley Knight one too

NameChangeUnwiseAdvice · 20/12/2020 15:32

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