There’s nothing like a good, and original, pop track to celebrate the holiday season, but with so many artists with so many Christmas albums, which ones are the best of the best?

1. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” -Mariah Carey 

This song is the definition of what a pop Christmas song is, and no matter how annoyed you are of hearing it when the holiday season is over, by the time Christmas time comes back along the next year, you will find yourself singing along again.

1. “Last Christmas” -Wham!                                   

Winter isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. When seasonal depression hits but you still want to be in the Christmas spirit is where Wham!’s “Last Christmas” comes in. 

1. “Mistletoe” -Justin Bieber                                            

 The lyrics to this song are sugary sweet as a frosted sugar cookie you leave by the chimney for Santa on Christmas Eve.

1. “Santa Tell Me” -Ariana Grande.                              

This song is not an all-time classic, don’t get me wrong. It captures the spirit of wanting a special someone to love during the holiday season with the help of Santa, but in a fun, upbeat way that makes for an absolute bop!       

1. “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” -Jackson 5        

There are versions of this song by everyone, but Michael and the gang’s version is the grooviest and fun.  

1. “Blue Christmas” -Elvis Presley                           

The King adds some swagger to this cover of the 1948 country original. It’s now a festive staple.

1. “Jingle Bell Rock” -Bobby Helms                            

This classic topped the Christmas charts five years in a row, making it a holiday classic by the early ’60s. 

1. “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” -Harry Connick Jr.                                                             

 There are so many good versions of this Christmas classic, but I think he does it best.

1. “Mele Kalikimaka” -Bing Crosby                          

This Hawaiian-inspired Christmas song is a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.   

1.    “Feliz Navidad” -José Feliciano                       

 Everyone knows how to say Merry Christmas in Spanish thanks to this classic.
