While ‘Silent Night’ and ‘The First Noel’ may be the perfect songs for Christmas Eve services at church, they may not set the mood you’d envisioned for your holiday party. Fear not! There are plenty of cool Christmas songs that will rock your chimney and set your sleigh to swinging. Here’s a list of some fun Christmas songs.
Wonderful Christmas Time – Paul McCartney
Sir Paul presents ‘the feeling that only comes this time of year’ as no one else can. This one will definitely get your party off on the correct musical foot!
Happy Christmas – John Lennon
Pull out the Lennon/McCartney double punch. Lennon’s Happy Christmas is a great slow dance with a social statement.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas – Take your pick of artists! Frank Sinatra, Kenny G, David Archuleta, Michael O’Brien and Vince Gill are just a few of the almost 80 who’ve made this Christmas favorite a classic.
What Christmas Means to Me – Stevie Wonder
Think of a Christmas image … it’s in there! In this short ditty Stevie covers it all.
Santa Baby – Lina
There’s no Christmas song ever recorded as hot as this one! Many singers have embraced this song, but none with the sultry, smoky come-on of this jazz artist. ‘Hurry down my chimney’, indeed!
This Christmas – Chris Brown
This up-beat, jazzy Christmas wish will have everyone at the party on their feet, getting their jingle on.
All I Want for Christmas is a Real Good Tan – Kenny Chesney
Sick of snow and cold? This one’s for you! Forget fireplaces, jingle bells and fa-la-la’s. This fun tune hopes for a white Christmas of sand, lotion and the ocean.
Merry Christmas, Baby – Bruce Springsteen
With kissing under the mistletoe, Santa coming down the chimney, saxophones, trumpets and, of course, the man himself, what more could you wishes for in your stocking?
With great remakes of the songs of Christmas past and incredible songs of Christmas present, your party is sure to be one folks remember far into the future. Happy Holidays!
