Hit me with your best Christmas songs

The Christmas songs that give you the magical Christmas feeling!

(Only started paying for Spotify this year and creating playlists ready!)

I love the Muppets Christmas Carol soundtrack and am also a complete sucker for the Wizzard song.

and I should never admit this but the Gary Glitter one is one of my favourites, it reminds me of lovely school Christmas parties as a kid having an absolute blast. I have an old album with it on so I play that rather than stream it but still, wish it wasn’t his song!

all of the usuals my list is, just gives me memories and Christmas feels
whats funny is I listen to my phone at work and just shuffle all my songs and usually when a Christmas song comes on I quickly skip it, the other day my watch froze and I couldn’t skip and so it kept playing and one of the guys said I traumatised him... he said he can officially say he had heard his first Christmas song 😂
Here’s my most fave ones...
Wham - Last Christmas
Wizard - I wish it could be Christmas everyday
The posies- fairytale of New York
Band aid - do they know it’s Christmas
Chris rea - driving home for Christmas
slade - merry Christmas everybody
shakin stevens - merry Christmas everyone
Elton John - step into Christmas
darlene love - Christmas
John Lennon - happy xmas (war is over)
leona Lewis - one more sleep
kelly clarkson - underneath the tree
Paul McCartney - wonderful Christmas time
the waitresses - Christmas wrapping
chris de Burgh - a spaceman came travelling
frankie goes to Hollywood - the power of love

these are the ones I could listen to over and over...

Darlene Love - Christmas Baby Please Come Home

Tracey Thorn - Joy

very different vibes but two fantastic songs

this song makes me so emotional. love it.

oooh , The Frogs Chorus - Paul McCartney

Boom Boom Boom Aye-e-Aye

I love the Aled Jones One Voice at Christmas album, its really calming and festive. Good idea for a thread OP, I'll be borrowing some of the suggestions to build a playlist!

Driving home for Christmas by Chris Rea is my absolute favourite.

<lalalalalala> it's August, man, we haven't even got to Halloween yet have you done that one already
But as you have put it in the correct topic...
I believe in Father Xmas Greg Lake
Feliz navidad Boney m
Stay another day/Maria/As it was because bells
Beck Mixed bizness (only mentions Xmas once but good enough for me)

Jona Lewie Stop The Cavalry.

Don’t shoot me Santa Claus- The Killers

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas - Perry como
It's the most wonderful time of the year - Andy Williams
Merry Christmas baby - Hanson
Jingle bell rock - Brenda lee

I’ve recently found ‘The Best Christmas Album in the World…Ever!’ On Spotify. We had this on double cassette back in the day, a great mix of classics on it!

Frank Kelly - Countdown to Christmas is SO FUNNY. I nearly have an accident every time I hear it.
Driving home for Christmas Chris Rea - spent much of my adult life doing that. Do they know it's Christmas - no explanation needed

@MuffinFeatures yes!! It really is the best Christmas album that one! I managed to pick up a copy when I moved out of home so I always had it and my dad could still keep his copy! 😂

Oh that’s so sweet @TommyShelby ! It reminds me of car journeys to visit family 😊 I’ve forwarded the Spotify link to my family but might look on eBay for a copy 🎄 I just love the sheer bloody amount of great Christmas songs on it!

@MuffinFeatures are you my sister? 😂 That album reminds me of car journeys visiting family.

When I read this thread all I could think about was this album giving me that Christmas feeling rather than a. Sometimes when I hear one of the songs on radio or another playlist I always think the next song will be what's on that album 😂

Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher by Elton John (from Billy Elliot)

Long lost maybe - I’m also a tea lover!

I also automatically think of the next song on the album if I hear one on the radio 😂 just scrolling through the order of songs, it feels so right! 😂

there aren’t many Christmas songs I don’t like but I love ‘o holy night’ for proper Christmas feels

Oh and the home alone soundtrack

Not sure how to post a link but my favourite is Bastille and their version of Feliz Navidad/2000 miles. It's beautiful, have a nose on YouTube 👍🏼

Completely out of the norm but if you have an 'Alexa' Ask her to play 'Santa's Mince Pie' song 🤗
For us this is Christmas...the first time we heard it the kids just belly laughed so adorably ❤
That made me and DH crack up...
'Gobble, gooble, gobble and the pie has gone 🙈

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

'It's the most wonderful time of the year' by Andy Williams. Hate that it was changed and used to promote a certain travel firm this summer.

Absolutely cant stand most christmas music. Sia's Everyday is Christmas is tolerable
