What's your favourite holiday or Christmas song?


I know it's terrible, but I love Grandma got runover by a reindeer.

Silent Night- the Stevie Nicks version. LOVE it

I love Christmas music!
What a Glorious Night by Sidewalk Prophets
Christmas Carol by Oak Ridge Boys
Light of Christmas by Owl City and Toby Mac
The Proof by Andrea Olsen (I think)
Star of Wonder by Sara Grove
The Elf Song by Crowder (this one is really fun!)
His Name is Wonderful by Chris Tomlin

We sang a few of these in Church for our Christmas program (I sing in our Praise Team and Choir)

Carols...Angels From the Realms of Glory is my fav but I love the others like Away in a Manger, Silent night, Oh Holy Night etc

I love all kinds of Christmas music - so really don't have a favorite!

I like n'sync's holiday album lol

[Lidia G]

I prefer religious songs like Silent Night, Joy To The World, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, The First Noel...and many more.

My favorite is Hallelujah by Carrie Underwood & John Legend. Her whole Christmas album is great!

I also really like the newer song- Snowman by Sia.

I love lots of Christmas songs, but Let It Be Christmas by Alan Jackson is my favorite.

[bienejen]

I love Oh Holy Night by Josh Groban, O Tannebaum by Aretha Franklin, Gabriel's Message by Sting, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by the Barenaked Ladies and Sarah Maclachlan, White Christmas by the Drifters.... I have a lot of faves

[cherrygutz]

There are a lot but it's Taylor Swifts' Christmas Tree Farm.

I love most of the classic Christmas songs, but there is one that is quite meaningful to me, John Lennon's 'And So This Is Christmas'. It's one that left such a deep impression to me as I spent many Christmases alone in Liverpool far away from my family when I was doing my degrees...

Me too! I also like The one from Ed Sheeran and Elton John

Probably my favorite recorded song is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan. This song was never on my radar, but I love their version of it.

I have way too many!! I love Christmas music. My favorites are kind of divided into classic songs, songs that were recorded, and songs that I performed as a choir member.

My favorite classic is O Holy Night, with Mary Did You Know (a new classic) as a close second. Pentatonix's version of Mary Did You Know is my favorite. Do You Hear What I Hear is a close third. Andrea Bocelli and his family has a beautiful version.

One of my favorites that I performed as a choir member is John Rutter's Gloria, in particular, movement I, which is vivace (lively). I performed as an alto with the San Antonio Symphony Mastersingers in the mid-90s with the SA Symphony. The brass is fabulous! John Rutter is probably my favorite 20th Century composer. Here it is if you want to listen to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M6eSr221Vc

Of those recorded, the Carpenters' Merry Christmas Darling is probably my favorite.

Not in a category is Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride, performed by a symphony or symphonic band.

I'm sure I'm leaving something out!
