The Best

Micheal Buble has a sophisticated calming voice, not just the ladies will be into this song.

4.Nat King Cole-The Christmas Song

Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

One of the true classics, you can’t call it Christmas without listening to this song at least once.

3. Bing Crosby-It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It sure is beginning to look a lot like Christmas on Christmas day.

Who doesn’t want to go on a sleigh ride? Play this tune and take a nice stroll on Christmas night.

1. Frank Sinatra-I’ll Be Home For Christmas

Frank Sinatra - I'll be Home for Christmas

Frank Sinatra has enough class to win over both men and woman. You can’t go wrong here.

The Worst

5. The Muppets-12 Days of Christmas

John Denver & The Muppets - 12 Days of Christmas

Seriously. This song is bad enough but being sung by the muppets? Unless you’re playing this song for five year olds, just don’t.

4. Wham-Last Christmas

Wham! - Last Christmas (Official Video)

This song may be considered a classic now but really. It’s an 80’s heartbreak song, no one wants to be depressed on Christmas.

3. Elmo & Patsy-Grandma Got Runover By A Reindeer

Elmo & Patsy - Grandma Got Run over by a Reindeer

Grandma got runover by a reindeer?! No!

2. Barking Dogs-We Wish You A Merry Christmas

We Wish You a Merry Christmas 🎁 Barking Dogs Christmas Song

Anything with animal noises instead of lyrics is a definite no.

1. Bob & Doug Mckenzie-12 Days of Christmas

BOB & DOUG McKENZIE - The 12 Days of Christmas (1982)

Again. This song is too long and no matter how you rendition it, it’s not good. Just stay away from this one.
