What is your favourite christmas song?

Lots of things bring people joy at this time of year, but for me a big one is christmas songs.

I miss christmas songs all year, and finally allow myself to start listening to them in November (some may think that’s early, but i love them).

My favourite christmas song is merry christmas by Ed Sheeran and Elton John. I’m listening to it as i type this :joy:

Other highlights include baby it’s cold outside (the version with Meghan Trainor in it is my favourite, but other versions are fine), cold December night by Michael Buble, one more sleep by Leona Lewis, and Michael Buble’s version of silent night.

I also like a couple of more obscure ones, namely when christmas comes around by Matt Terry, and the one i can never spell, Mele Kalikimaka by Bing Crosby. In fact there’s loads, i couldn’t list them all :joy:

What is your favourite christmas song? And when do you start listening to them?

Bonus question: are there any christmas songs that you’re not so keen on? Last christmas by wham drives me nuts every year!!

    I love a bit of Misteltoe by Justin Bieber and also the Glee version of Baby It's Cold Outside

    I feel like Christmas songs brought out by pop singers are either really cringe or so catchy ! There isn't an in-between

    I also find I'm more likely to watch Christmas films earlier than I start listening to the music so maybe middle/late November, but if there's Christmas songs playing on the radio I'm not complaining

    Love this! Christmas music brings me such a nostalgic, cosy feeling whenever I hear it, I recently heard 'The Christmas Song' playing in the mall near me, it's such a classic.

    I also love mistletoe by good ol biebs! Reminds me of being a teen again.

    I'm not a huge fan of Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas, it's a bit too repetitive, I feel dizzy by the end of it.

    I agree @independent_ anything Buble is a classic!

    As for the classics, I think 'All I want for christmas is you' by Mariah Carey might be a fav, along with Last Christmas.

    I also like quite a few of the more modern christmas songs like 'Santa tell me' by Ariana Grande as well as Sabrina Carpenter's mini christmas album

    as for when i start listening - i'd say probably the start of december although this year i feel i haven't listened to as many as previous years so maybe i need to up my listening in the last few days before christmas
