Love it! I’d add Joy to the world, Mariah Carey and Santa Tell Me, Ariana grande

I'd chuck some alternative ones in

Yelling at the Xmas tree - billy idol
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus - the impressions
Making Christmas - rise against
Christmas wrapping - the waitresses
A Christmas duel - the hives & Cyndi lauper

What about the darkness?

26. Christmas Wrapping - Spice Girls

Whoah, hold the phone .... The Waitresses 'Christmas Wrapping' not The Spice Girls version !

And not my favourite Queen song but you need a bit of Freddie at Christmas ...

"Thank God It's Christmas"

What's with all the 90s cover versions OP?

Mostly the originals are far superior.

Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt. For example. Sooo much better.

And Michael Buble sucks Chrstmas baubles

A New York Christmas by Rob Thomas

Joy to the World Aretha Franklin

O Holy Night- Mariah Carey..... gives me goosebumps every time!

Erasure's version of Gaudete - it rocks!

Oh yes , Carol of the Bells love that one .

My number 1 favourite is Fairytale of New York (The Pogues and Kirsty) it makes the back of my neck prickle when I hear those piano notes .

I know it's not QUITE a festive party tune but you said Christmas, and this is beautiful.

May I present Bella Hardy and the Coventry Carol.

Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull. And I know a lot of people hate it, but I like Mistletoe And Wine.

I take so much pleasure in making a Christmas playlist with ‘normal’ and beloved festive classics, then peppering it with some more unusual/terrible choices and see who notices!

Happiest Christmas Tree-Nat King Cole (so cheesy, I love it!)
It Doesn’t Often Snow at a Christmas- Pet Shop Boys
R2-D2 We Wish You a Merry Christmas (my husband’s family are Star Wars mad, and apparently this is an abomination. I quite like it, but then again I liked the Ewoks and that’s bad too...)
Wombling Merry Christmas- as much as people may moan, everyone joins in and enjoys it in the end!
Yelling at the Xmas Tree- Billy Idol
12 Days of Christmas- Straight No Chaser (they do a Hanukkah verse and one set to Toto’s Africa- instant favourite)
To Christmas- Straight No Chaser
Christmas Was Better in the 80s- The Futureheads
Sleigh Ride-The Late Greats (just like this cover)
Because I’m Santa- The Dollyrots

And pretty much the entirety of The Amateur Transplants Christmas albums, especially Myrrh (based on Gold by Spandau Ballet!)

Ooh can’t forget Amateur Transplants- Stop the Canapés for a Boxing Day get together
“Roasted peppers, stuffed with fetas, olives filled with anchovies.
more bruschetta, Vienetta, over did it in Sainsbury's...
Turn the oven off, we've all had enough, can you stop the canopes?”
