The most popular Christmas songs of all time should be something people debate about because music is so objective. However, Christmas songs seem to be immune to that type of debate and are universally loved by all. That is probably because these are the songs that we listened to growing up, and they always remind us of the holiday season whenever we hear them. Our brain has been trained to think about Christmas when we hear certain songs.
The most popular Christmas songs ever written are the ones that, when you hear them, everything just feels like Christmas. It’s hard to hear classics like “Let It Snow,” “Merry Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of The Year,” “Santa Baby,” “Blue Christmas,” or “Winter Wonderland” and not immediately dream of winter, Christmas, and snow.
So whether we’re letting it snow, talking about what we want for Christmas, or just wishing Merry Christmas to everyone else, these songs have been around so long we should easily be able to identify them with just five clues, right?
popular Christmas songs
Popular Christmas songs are the best Christmas songs that have stood the test of time and continue to be played throughout the holiday season. These are the songs that have become attached to the holiday. Whenever you hear them, you can't help but think of cuddling up by a warm fire, drinking hot chocolate, and watching the snow fall down outside your home.
Kids are taught "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" because they are simple Christmas songs. As they get older, those same kids will start hearing the classic Christmas songs, and the holiday season will be complete.
Some of the best artists like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Mariah Carey, Nat King Cole, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Burl Ives, Andy Williams, Ariana Grande, Paul McCartney, and Elvis Presley have all created at least one Christmas classic song in their career. This has almost made it like a rite of passage for musical artists.
