Last Christmas and Grandma got run over by a reindeer

[@devingiles6597]

I know one Christmas song is my favorite. All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey!

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

I love the traditional Christmas carols the most. "I'll be home for Christmas" was played extensively in WWII for homesick GIs

[@ninemanmorris7130]

I sang that in the dorm stairwell to myself, when stationed at an Air Force base training, while away from home at Christmas.

[@shotwench2210]

I teared up at over 75% of these. Man I miss my mom. She loved xmas and all the fun music. I'll never forget her singing and playing the organ to entertain all of us. I'll be in the corner if you need me.

[@shotwench2210]

@Cavachoncx3 May the bright fires of Yule bring you warmth and the reminder that the warm days of Spring will be here soon. It is the Hope of the Goddess and the Ancient Ones that remind us of this blessed transition of the days and for that we celebrate.

Speaking of Christmas songs. Back in 2006 , twisted sister released a Christmas album called a twisted Christmas. It's on Spotify by the way. But I do argree with you about the Christmas spirit when it comes to the original songs .

Wham - last Christmas... It's my personal favorite song... Me and my little girl song this together.. I will always cherish this song :)

[@cassandraspoelhof3752]

My favorite Christmas songs are “Grandma Got Runover By A Reindeer” because it’s morbid yet also funny and catchy at the same time, and “Christmas Eve Sarajevo” by TSO because I love the Regular Show Christmas Special and that song is played in that special. I MISS REGULAR SHOW SO MUCH! “Jolly good show!” Yes it is, Pops, yes it is!

[@michaelblake1722]

The song is very catchy

[@olvialee7221]

Funny how you say that cause I used to watch the animated movie Grandma Got Runover By A Reindeer when I was little

[@marc_overmars]

Christmas songs are my favourite ones. They make me happy.

[@Skinnyd4]

Two of my favorites are Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" and "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses. One that I like even better than those, though, is "Sleigh Ride" by the Boston Pops.

[@americangiant1003]

Skinny well said and agree 1000%. Both Donny's underrated classic and "Christmas Wrapping" should been at least been an "honorable" mention. And if you had to select the best ever Micheal Jackson/Jackson 5 Christmas Song IMO no doubt should been "Give Love On Christmas Day' was much better than the 2 that was what the Staff at Mojo. Personally I would have either the first Donny version of "This Christmas" or "Christmas Wrapping" in place of one of the Two J5 songs on this list. PS Mojo suggestion. Please maybe next time do the "best Christmas albums' ever. No doubt the "J5" would be on that list at least in the Top 10.

[@106andie]

Ooh the Boston Pops! Good to know since I live there!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra is my new favorite Christmas song 👍 But Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You will always be a classic to me ❄️❤️❤️❤️ 1. Mariah Carey 🎅 2. Frank Sinatra ⛄️ 3. Andy Williams 🎄

[@mikebrock1965]

Merry Christmas, Darling- Carpenters Grown Up Christmas List- Natalie Cole Christmas Bells- Nat King Cole Anything from the Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer TV show.

[@clydesalley]

The exclusion of the Carpenter's song makes this list illegitimate. One of the best pop Christmas Songs ever recorded. Whoever made out this list had their head up their you know what because it didn't even get an honorable mention. Thumbs down for this list.

[@RyuTempest]

I will forever enjoy "Last Christmas" as my favorite Christmas song.

[@danielguzman4338]

Me too

[@sameeknowsitall]

Feliz navidad is top for me (or jingle bells rock)

[@David_Theisen]

Yeah it’s a timeless classic!!!

[@Aaronholland2000]

I think John Lennon's song, Happy Xmas War Is Over should have been on this list. He's a true legend when it comes to being a songwriter.

[@americangiant1003]

Another joke that it's not on the list. The songs on that early 1970's Micheal Jackson/Jackson 5 Christmas album is legendary. However the Lennon oringal was more iconic and historic.

[@olvialee7221]

My favorite Christmas songs are When Christmas Comes To Town, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer, Feliz Navidad, Perfect Christmas and Fa La La

[@DJGamingSmash]

Wham!'s "Last Christmas" is the only one of these I actually seek out after the holidays are over. That's when you know you have a winner.

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

@@Disassociated2 the info is she had written the song and recorded the song she tried to get the label to release it as a single but the label refused to release it due to her ex-husband Tommy motolla who still working there at the time so she parted ways with Columbia records in late 2000 and that's when they gave it to faith hill to re-record the song for how the grinch stole Christmas and that made Mariah mad because she felt betrayed by the people she worked with for 11 years and they gave her song to faith hill and released faith Hill's version and not Mariah's

[@jorgecastro7207]

Rockin' Around Christmas Tree is definitely top 5.

[@macquariethemissingpiecequ2793]

@Rula Ibrahim I put that in 4th place

[@sorarikukairi08]

This was a great list, but I was kinda sad that “Step into Christmas” by Elton John didn’t even make the list. It’s a classic and it’s always in my holiday playlists. Some of favorite Christmas songs are: 1) Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer-Elmo and Patsy(this song cracks me up) 2) Step into Christmas-Elton John(such a classic and again, it always finds its way in my holiday playlists) 3) Oh Holy Night-I like the Glee Cast version of this song(there’s so many covers of this song but the Glee Cast Version is really good) 4) Wonderful Christmastime-Paul McCartney(this one has been a favorite of mine since I was little) 5) Mele Kalikimaka-Bing Crosby and the Anderson Sisters(such a classic and it’s the one that I associate with Christmas Vacation lol; a great cover of this song is the one Seth McFarlane did for his Christmas album a few years ago) 6) Ave Maria-Leona Lewis(oh my goodness. This was a fantastic cover she did. It gave me goosebumps and made my jaw drop when I heard it the first time) 7)God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen-Barenaked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan(another song that finds its way in my holiday playlists) 8) Little Saint Nick-The Beach Boys 9) Christmas Time is Here-Vince Guaraldi trio(love this song. Mariah Carey did a fantastic cover for her second Christmas album. She called it “Charlie Brown Christmas) 10) Please Come Home For Christmas-Eagles(I swear this song was in most of the holiday movies I watched as a kid lol) Honorable Mentions-The Chanukah Song-Adam Sandler(I know, I know it’s not technically a Christmas song, but come on now. It’s definitely not the holidays if you haven’t heard this one at least once. And it’s pretty funny too) Christmas Canon-Trans-Siberian Orchestra(I love this one. And the children’s choir did an excellent job singing on this track)

[@americangiant1003]

Being fair this is a very difficult choices on the best "Christmas Songs" ever . It was going to be heavily debated and even controversial. With that said, I agree with you that your picks of "Step Into Christmas" "Wonderful Christmastime" the version by Barenaked Ladies and Sarah of the classic "God Rest Ye Merry Christmas" and "Please Come Home for Christmas" by the Eagles should all have either been on the list or minimum 'honorable mention."

[@joshuavenables7912]

My top 5 Christmas songs of all time 1. Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday 2. The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) 3. Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas 4. Elton John - Step Into Christmas 5. Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone

[@harrythomas9261]

My top 5 would be fairly similar. 1. Wham- Last Christmas 2. Wizzard- I wish It Could be Christmas Everyday 3. Elton John- Step into Christmas 4. Chris Rea- Driving Home For Christmas 5. Mariah Carey- All I Want For Christmas Is You (this used to be favourite for many years but it gets played so much every year now🙃)

[@LegitimateEU]

Chris Rea's "Driving Home for Christmas" deserved at least an honourable mention in my opinion :)

[@jamesdunphy1207]

Yes

[@Nic0wS]

More like top 3

[@jeremywilliams5141]

I always enjoyed the Temptations version of "Silent Night", "This Christmas" by Donny Hathaway, James Brown's "Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto" and "What Christmas Means to Me" by Stevie Wonder.

[@meganbonner3521]

These are some of my favorites!!!

[@americangiant1003]

Jeremy The Temptations version of "Silent Night" is arguably the best ever. It's a joke it's not on this list and minimum in the Top 10. While JB's "Santa Claus Goes Straight To The Ghetto" should have been in 'honorable mention. I think Mojo Staff that created this list which are probably mostly Millennials probably was too young or not aware of those grossly underrated Christmas Classics.

[@alexhidalgo7110]

Blue Christmas Frosty the snowman All I want for Christmas is you Santa tell me Underneath the tree Anyone can be Santa Claus Rocking and round Last Christmas My favorite

[@kimackerman2183]

Last Christmas all the way! It's such a beautiful song and personally it should have been number 1

[@sarahfrench6262]

You’re right it should have been the Christmas number one.

[@nancyomalley6286]

That song is bittersweet since George Michael passed on Christmas Day

[@devingiles6597]

Hey, WatchMojo! My favorite Christmas songs I like are the following: Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You (1994) José Feliciano - Felíz Navidad (1970) Brenda Lee - Rockin Around the Christmas Tree (1958) Thurl Ravenscroft - You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch (1966) Vince Guaraldi - Linus and Lucy (1964) Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock (1957)

[@projectpat8807]

I'm starting to like Let It Snow more. I feel when November 1st hits (because the Halloween season is over with), it can snow all it wants. Plus everyone can go crazy on Christmas stuff if they want (I don't consider Thanksgiving a decorative holiday, it's more like a holiday like Memorial Day or Labor Day). So with that, the best way to sum up how I am feeling when it's November 1st is let it snow. And when it comes to the Christmas 2021 season, that's how I definitely been feeling.

[@olvialee7221]

Oh the Memories! When I was a kid, I remember watching Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer in my Nina’s house

[@godzillafan8207]

" Silent Night" is, by far, the #1 Christmas song for me

Dark and depressing Finnish Christmas songs is where it's at. "life only lasts for a short while and it's gloomy and sordid. Hey christmas elfs jump around it's time for celebration!"

[@racheldavin7763]

First off, I thought the ghost stories mentioned in "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" was a reference to the Dicken's book "A Christmas Carol." I also want to give a shout out to "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses & "Is That You, Santa Claus?" by Louis Armstrong. And a huge debt of gratitude to whoever came up with the idea to play Dan Fogelberg's "Another Auld Lang Syne" at Christmastime. It's a touching reminder that sometimes Christmas can be exquisitely bittersweet.

[@americangiant1003]

Thanks Rachel. Agreed. Just for how 'different it is" the underrated Fogelberg classic should been at least "honorable mention" on this list. And how the Christmas/New Years Holidays can be bittersweet. for many people Worldwide as well. Whether when it first came out around the early 1980's or during say getting through the Christmas season during the Covid Global Pandemic of the early 2020's as well.

[@t-dogtyler3626]

Carol of the Bells is my favorite song. I love the sound and the tone.

[@cancelconservatism7041]

This, carol of the bells doesn't get enough recognition

[@Jazzbeu55]

It lends itself to some really great and original renditions. Because of that, it is one of my favorites. So many songs sound the same regardless of who sings them. Carol of the Bells stays fresh with so many great interpretations.

[@kenbrown2927]

Damn. This whole list hits. Now that I'm 31, I do miss the nostalgia of being young and having family all around for a few days. I'm sure so many people who have gotten older, and realized family can't always gather since we all go our separate ways, feels this way too. Good on ya, mojo. Got goosebumps from every song.

Maybe it's just personal bias, but I'm kind of surprised to see that "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses wasn't at the very least in the honorable mentions of this list. I always heard it at least a couple times every week of December on the radio growing up, to the point where it doesn't even really feel like Christmastime until I play it at least once

[@americangiant1003]

No doubt probably among the biggest 'snubs" (along with say the Temptations version of "Silent Night') among at least a dozen other Christmas season classics that belonged on the list.

[@chrishomberg7659]

For me, it's not Christmas until I hear "Merry Christmas, Darling" (Carpenters), "Christmas Wrapping" (Waitresses) and "Tennessee Christmas" (Amy Grant)

[@reedharrington6954]

Christmas wrapping is a forgotten classic

[@mlggamer5296]

Oh yes it is truly The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. What a classic song!

[@louericcastro8615]

Christmas In Our Hearts should have at least a distinct citation. It's already an anthem here in the Philippines during holidays; world must hear the song. This is way back in early 90's and album sales/media plays are still counting.

[@henri191]

"All i want for Christmas is you" is my favorite

[@TheGListed2]

“This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway should have been in the top 20.

[@americangiant1003]

No doubt. I would have taken for instance one or either both MJ/Jackson 5 songs on this list for that grossly underrated Hathaway classic.

570: I had no idea that Mariah Carey was supposed to sing the song in the grinch movie. I was a kid at that time and if I’d known, I’d be in shock

[@Creedofdamage]

Where Are You, Christmas? is the perfect happy-sad holiday song

[@TomCatwhick.]

You should have put Bobby Helms for Jingle Bell Rock instead of Hall and Oates as that version charts every single year and is like 20 years older!

[@kennet7837]

Some underrated/lesser known Christmas songs that I love: The Band - Christmas Must Be Tonight Marvin Gaye - I Want to Come Home for Christmas Stevie Wonder - What Christmas Means to Me Donny Hathaway - This Christmas Vulfpeck - Christmas in L.A.

[@logankerr8090]

William Shatner's version of Jingle Bells is a good one., also "12 days of christmas" by bob&doug McKenzie and "Chanukah Song" by Adam Sandler is also a must listen

[@lynnenolte1538]

Don't forget Mr. Hankey!

[@King_Colombia_Inc]

Where Are You Christmas will forever be my favorite song.

[@jackrodakthemovieguy1726]

One underrated Christmas song imo would be Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses

[@sebastianengelsman7255]

My personal favourite Christmas song is called Christmas Truce by Swedish metal band Sabaton. Based on the real event in 1914, its about British and German troops coming together to stop fighting and enjoying Christmas. The song and it's symphony version are absolutely incredible

[@Eric-wu7bp]

Bing Crosby must’ve been the voice of Christmas music back then

[@americangiant1003]

Eric. I think the really reason Bing's legendary Christmas songs mainly "White Christmas" will always be in the top 2-3 lists of Christmas songs has also been for historic reasons. It came out for the Christmas season in late 1942 for a Crosby film right in middle of WW2. A few years back when I watched the American Filmmaker/Producer Ken Burns did the documentary on World War 2, they did a lengthy segment on "White Christmas." And how that legendary song was played year round for the rest of WW 2 due to it's popularity. So in a scene "White Christmas" became an unofficial theme for the American led Allied forces to defeat Hitler as well.

[@dolce9494]

I also think of O Holy Night, Away in A Manger, Give Love on Christmas Day, Silver Bells, My Grown Up Christmas List and O Come All Ye Faithful are timeless. 😁

[@lukedaley17]

“All I want for Christmas” will always be the best Christmas tune.

[@josephharrison5639]

And most hated

[@hiphoprockstar2009]

Good list for the most part but where is "Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!" by Dean Martin at? It is the best Christmas song and just gets you in the Christmas spirit, Listen to it if you get a chance, you won't be disappointed.

[@BRO77TX]

Im Dreaming Of A White Christmas by The Drifters should be on everybody’s Christmas playlist!!

[@garycarpenter2980]

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas from Meet Me in St.Louis is my favorite of all the Christmas music

[@KaraMorassco]

Trans Siberian Orchestra's "Christmas Canon" is one of my most favorite Christmas songs ever. The same with Darlene Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)".
