I know the Mariah Carey song is hated because its overused, but its also objectively a well produced piece of pop music.
My favorite though is O Holy Night. Performed well I want to stop and listen to it. It moves me, and I dont give enough of a fuck about religion to call myself an athiest.

A specific version, or the original by John Williams? I personally like the version by Mosimann: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-NCLrj9XNo
With such lines as
If it has to be Christmas for you to be nice
You’re an asshole
If you think the season is the reason
You’re a piece of shit
And calling people spineless if they can only make a change for the better if it’s New Year’s and hints that so much of the holiday just appearances
12 days of Christmas by Bob and Doug Mckenzie
TAKE OFF, EH!
Christmas Rapping by the Waitresses
Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John and Yoko.
White Christmas, which was written by Irving Berlin, who was Jewish!
I like it because of how intricately the melody is written. It ebbs and flows perfectly against the chord progression and feels much closer to a jazz standard than most other Christmas songs.
Carol of the Bells/Setting The Trap by John Williams https://youtu.be/L07PomkZ3s8?si=2RYhCArWzNL1QnFr
I Watch Home Alone every year.
Also the Trans-Siberian Orchastra version is great
Regardless of home alone, every version of Carol of the Bells I’ve heard is great. And it sounds like a horror movie theme so I listen to it throughout the year.
Carol of the Bells
goes way too hard for a christmas song
I’m with you on team “O holy night”, my favourite version is Andy Williams’, closely followed by Perry Como’s!
It’s only a few years old, but I’ve recently been charmed by Christmas Eve at the Downtown Thrifty-Thrift Store by Jawbone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8_qqVEB2s8
It’s not telling any kind of story, just painting a picture with words and music about tattered and mostly-forgotten things.
The only one I’ve liked is Homo Christmas by Pansy Division
I celebrate Christmas (not as festive as some people but still) but I generally am apathetic to Christmas music at best. That being said, Carol of the Bells by Transiberian Orchestra still kicks ass and I would say it is the one Christmas song that I would actively and willingly listen to.
They all suck. I hate them all because they get stuck in my head on a loop.
Ring The Bells - Eurobeat Union
For some reason the only real version I could find on YouTube is the first song in Zenki’s Christmas Touhou Eurobeat Mix and it’s kind of ironic because it’s the only song in that mix that is actually Christmas related.
Dragged Under - This Holiday https://youtube.com/watch?v=cgPfIhbIJU0
Also “Skank for Christmas” by Reel Big Fish
I know nobody will believe me but I genuinely enjoy Last Christmas by Wham. I used to hate it but it grew on me similarly to Never Gonna Give You Up.
