Mines got to be Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra, but the modern versions (Buble, Sam Smith Et al) are also grand.

This song just instantly puts me in the Christmas mood. Hot chocolates, stockings hanging from the fireplace, cosy jumpers, frost on the windows, love and laughter Smile

The others I love are It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas, Merry Christmas Everyone. and Silent Night (ok that's a carol, but same thing).

Merry Christmas (War is Over)
Fairytale of New York
A spaceman came travelling, as it's one I remember from being a child.

Me and DH always have to have a bop round the kitchen to Bo Selecta Proper Chrimbo as well 😂😂

Every Year Every Christmas by Luther Vandross, if you want a Xmas tear jerker.

Greg Lake - I believe in Father Christmas
Boney M - Mary’s Boy Child

Carol - God rest ye Merry gentlemen

Foden courtois band - jingle bells. The best, most Christmassy tune ever.

Also, new favourite White wine in the sun by Tim Minchin.

MrsSkylerWhite · 22/11/2021 20:09

How very dare you?!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland.

Band aid.. do they know it's Christmas, is my all time favourite. I have such amazing memories growing up listening to my dad singing along to it in the car whilst driving over night to stay with my grandparents for Xmas. The first time I catch the first few bars of the intro I immediately feel happier and Christmassy.

I really do bloody love them all but Elton John - Step Into Christmas has to be my favourite !! Instant smile on my face, makes me want to dance, just love it.

Geamhradh · 22/11/2021 20:12

Hymn- O Little Town of Bethlehem or Once in Royal David's City. All the verses. Loudly.

Song: Winter's Tale, David Essex.

But basically all of them except anything that Bublé or Jenkins have been at.

bevelino · 22/11/2021 20:13

Driving home for Christmas is one of my favourites.

DramaAlpaca · 22/11/2021 20:15

Fairytale of New York. It's mine & DH's song and brings back great memories for both of us.

Itsnotover · 22/11/2021 20:15

I like Mariah Carey's All I want For Christmas

And also Merry Christmas Everyone.

Itsnotover · 22/11/2021 20:16

also Leona Lewis - One More Sleep

AcrossthePond55 · 22/11/2021 20:19

Nat King Cole's rendition of The Christmas Song. Absolutely perfect combination of singer & song. Plus it takes me back to Christmases as a child.

notactuallylolling · 22/11/2021 20:22

I love so many of them but what about the worst ones? Can’t stand Carpenters Merry Christmas Darling or Stop the Cavalry…

FruityPolos · 22/11/2021 20:23

The Phil Spector Christmas album! Every bit of it as it reminds me of being a small child when Christmas is the most exciting. I especially love the version of White Christmas on there. It's the first Christmas album I play every year when I decorate my tree!

Lanique · 22/11/2021 20:24

Do they know it's Christmas? Is my ultimate fave, and only the original version will do.

Fairytale of New York
Oh Holy Night
Stay Another Day (E17)
Only You (Flying Pickets)
Keeping the dream Alive - Freiheit

I love all the oldies in fact, such as Last Christmas, Driving Home, Step In etc etc.

Also, there were a few chart hits that weren't Christmas songs but were released around Christmas during the late 80s / early 90s that always make me feel festive, such as Dear Jessie by Madonna, I'll Sail this Ship Alone by Beautiful South, This One by Paul McCartney. I think there was a TOTP that I watched on repeat during the run up to Christmas one year!

Merry Christmas everyone by Shakin Stevens, not because it's a great song but it reminds me of being younger and really looking forward to Christmas.
Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano
I also like Last Christmas and Driving home for Christmas.

PeskyRooks · 22/11/2021 20:26

Carol of the Bells is my absolute favourite. Also really love In The Bleak Midwinter.
Bit different but also a big fan of Run Run Rudolf by Motorhead!

Vapeyvapevape · 22/11/2021 20:28

@amillionrosepetals I love a bit of Luther . Definitely brought tears to my eyes- another Christmas as a singleton 😢

HappySonHappyMum · 22/11/2021 20:31

2000 miles - the Pretenders - it's a complete classic

RosesAndHellebores · 22/11/2021 20:32

The Holly and the Ivy
Do They Know it's Christmas

Burgerqueenbee · 22/11/2021 20:32

@ArblemarchTFruitbat

Stop the Cavalry
This is my favourite too, surprised it was mentioned so quickly (in a good way!).

Grandma got run over by a reindeer by Randy Brookes.
