Whilst putting my tree’s up today and listening to Christmas music I got to thinking about my all time favourite Christmas song. This year I had Ring Out, Solstice Bells on repeat basically the whole time I decced the front room, what a fantastic tune!

Whats yours?

Happy Christmas (War Is Over), Wonderful Christmastime, I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day - all reminders of happy Christmasses gone by.
My absolute favourite though, is O Holy Night, the Home Alone version. A beautiful melody with sublime harmonies.

Fairytale of New York. But for Nostalgic reasons - Greg Lake “I believe in Father Christmas” and Wizard “I wish it could be Christmas every day” remind me of being a kid at Christmas and I get a little bit excited 😂

That’s not in the slightest bit niche. It’s really popular!

My favourite is either I Believe In Father Christmas by Greg Lake or Gaudete by Steeleye Span.

Not Guadete! To my shame I can still both see and hear the Alan Partridge version (singing in his car?)

Keeping the dream alive, by Freiheit. Not technically a Christmas song, but intrinsically entwined with Christmas in my mind.

Oh my, that was a blast from the past! No idea who I thought sung it, but it wasn't that name 😆

I think the campaign was just keeping the X Factor winner off no. 1 as they'd been no. 1 every year since it started. I don't think it was anything personal. But yes, it was awful

I think it was a kickback at manufactured pop? Yes nothing personal.

I love Feliz Navidad! Me and my daughter belt it out in the car and sing along at Christmas even though we don't actually know the right words.

I love Step Into Christmas as well and Last Christmas.

Hate it but hey as a teacher trying to teach a class from November until Xmas to sing it for a concert gives me every right to hate it

😁

Last Christmas - single version

SliceofTosst · 22/11/2025 18:21

Carol o' the Bells
Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone

Totally different to each other but they are my standout faves.

Slade Merry Christmas even after 40 years it’s still a belter. And I absolutely love it.

Ooh I came on to post exactly that!

Hard to choose a traditional one, as there are so many I love, but it might be The Shepherds' Farewell by Berlioz.

GenerousGardener · 22/11/2025 18:46

December Will Be Magic Again. Kate Bush
Last Christmas. George Micheal
I Wanna Hippotomus For Christmas. No idea who sings it…..

Femaleone · 22/11/2025 18:59

A Cradle in Bethlehem - Nat King Cole

I like Feliz Navidad as well but it always takes me back to my terminally ill sister passing away round Christmas time 😢
I love Another Rock n roll Christmas but doesnt get played in the UK anymore because of who wrote and performed it xx

Same. It's very nostalgic for me as Home Alone was our favourite Christmas film to watch as a family growing up. I also love 'Rockin Around the Christmas Tree' for the same reason, and also 'Jingle Bell Rock' as I loved Mean Girls as a teen.

It's funny how so many I love are linked to films.

I also love the Kelly Clarkson one and 'When a Child is Born'.
