The Christmas Song, a Dave Matthews original you can find on YouTube, very cool song!

The Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth, Bing Crosby & David Bowie

To name a few…😛
 
Anything off of Josh Gorban’s Noel album, plus Believe and O Holy Night (although it’s impossible to actually find that one)
Anything off of Roch Voisine’s Christmas is Calling album
I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, John Mellencamp version
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Corey Hart version (a good Rockin’ Christmas song 👍)
Snoopy’s Christmas
Christmas Time, by Brian Adams
Run Run Rudolph, by Brian Adams (comparatively, the Chuck Berry original sounds … dated. IMO)
Feliz Navidad, by José Feliciano
Happy Christmas (War is Over), John Lennon
Wonderful Christmastime, Paul McCartney
Let it Snow, Michael Buble

A good spattering of the classics and the newer ones I find.
 
Oh Holy Night- John Berry
What A Wonderful Begining - Kenny Rogers
All I Want For Christmas Is You- Vince Vance And The Valiants.
 
Any of Josh Groban’s, especially “O Holy Night,” “Panis Angelicus,” and “O Come All Ye Faithful.” I also really like “Christmas Eve in Sarajevo” by TransSiberian Orchestra and “Mary, Did You Know?”

Great version, although personally I prefer Nat King Cole’s.

I can’t believe no one’s mentioned Bing’s (the original) version of White Christmas!

Also, another standard I love is Andy Williams’ It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Also the original version.

As for modernish ones, I love the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s Christmas Canon, Wizards in Winter, and Sarajavo 12/24.
 
Good King Wenceslas
I Saw Three Ships
Silent Night
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
The Holly and the Ivy

God Bless,
Colmcille.
 
What? No Dreidel-Dreidel-Dreidel or The Chanukah Song by Adam Sandler?

Oh wait, wrong forum 🙂
