Top 4 - Blue Christmas
Elvis Presley
Blue Christmas" is a Christmas song written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson. The heart-broken tale of unrequited love during the holidays had long been considered a Christmas staple of country music. In 1957, Elvis Presley effectively made "Blue Christmas" a steadfast rock-and-roll holiday classic by recording it in his signature style.
Top 5 - White Christmas
Otis Redding
You'll never hear a version of "White Christmas" as moving and as soulful as Otis Redding's. The way he sings, you'd think no man has ever wanted anything as badly as Redding wants snow for Christmas. The man's enthusiasm for the season is enough to get even the most determined Scrooge into the Christmas spirit.
Top 6 - Let It Snow
Dean Martin
First recorded by Vaughn Monroe, Let It Snow is one of the best-selling songs of all time; "Let It Snow!" has been covered countless times. Due to its seasonal lyrics, it is commonly regarded as a Christmas song. Yet despite its cheery, holiday feel, it is a love song that never mentions Christmas.
Top 7 - Holly Jolly Christmas
Burl Ives
Few singers are as identifiable with Christmas as Burl Ives. His melodic voice and his Santa-like appearance make him and his music a must during the holidays. Ives has recorded a huge collection of Christmas music over the years, but this is his best track in my opinion.

Top 8 - Feliz Navidad
Jose Feliciano
Not every great Christmas song is sung completely in English and this Spanish English Christmas carol classic is a toe-tapping, sing along favorite. It has only been around since 1970, which might make it relatively contemporary on this list, but it fully deserves its spot as one of the best Christmas songs of all time.
Top 9 - The Christmas Song
Nat King Cole
Nat King Cole’s version of this classic Christmas song is warm and mellow, evoking traditions of old with its timeless lyrics. The quintessential cover of this song, Cole’s version remains as popular as ever despite countless holiday recordings — and making Cole’s choice the top selection for music playlists.
Top 10 - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Frank Sinatra
This Christmas song first appeared in the movie 'Meet Me in St. Louis' with actress Judy Garland. Originally Garland objected to the song because it was depressing with lines such as, "Have yourself a merry little Christmas/ It may be your last." Revisions were made, resulting in the light-hearted ode we hear today.
