This list has a mix of contemporary and classical Christmas music so it'll be sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
1. O Come All Ye Faithful
This well-known carol is a good way to connect all generations that might be present at a gathering. You can choose between a classical choral version of O Come All Ye Faithful in this Christmas album, or a contemporary version by Pentatonix from their Christmas album.
2. Little Drummer Boy
You can't go wrong with the exciting lead-in to Little Drummer Boy on the album by For King and Country.
3. Jingle Bell Rock
Bring on a fun laid-back mood with this popular song. We like the energy Blake Shelton brings to Jingle Bell Rock on his Christmas album.
4. For Unto Us a Child is Born (from Handel's Messiah)
For Unto Us a Child is Born is probably the oldest Christmas song composed which is still played today. This is an excellent choice for its uplifting way to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. We recommend the version from the Messiah album sung by the choir of Christ Church in Oxford.
5. Winter Wonderland
Let's switch things up with something more contemporary now. Michael Bublé has an incredible Christmas album with Winter Wonderland on it.
6. Nutcracker Overture
This ballet music is recognizable everywhere and is a great choice for a Christmas playlist. It's not too long either; the overture is only about three and a half minutes long. We recommend the Nutcracker Overture by Tchaikovsky in this album.
7. All I Want for Christmas is You
A romantic yet fun song, Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You will go over well on your playlist.
8. Carol of the Bells
Even if you don't know it by name, you're certain to know this one. It's that Christmas music that's a little bit classical that is played all the time around the holiday season. We love this crisp modern version of Carol of the Bells performed by Cimorelli that is certain to inspire that sense of winter delight. You definitely need this one on your Christmas music playlist.
9. Feliz Navidad
Nothing beats the exuberance of Feliz Navidad. Make sure your Christmas gathering is a joyful occasion with José Feliciano's Feliz Navidad from his Christmas album.
10. Hallelujah Chorus from The Messiah
What could be more appropriate at Christmas than the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah? It's well-known, joyful, and celebrates the true meaning of Christmas. We recommend the version from The Messiah sung by the Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford.
Conclusion
Above are what we consider to be the best Christmas songs with which to build your playlist. Enjoy your holiday gathering, and celebrate the joy!
