Hey! No fair! You stole mine! XD
Is that Matt Dillon at the beginning of that video??
I abhor Christmas and it's music, but even I like Mannheim Steamroller's synthy Christmas album
Oooh yeah that's a good one.
Christmas Wrap by the Waitresses.
I'll be mainstream and I'll say:
Underneath the tree by Kelly Clarkson
But I'd like to mention:
- Last Christmas by wham
- War is over by John Lennon and yoko Ono
- I'll be home for Christmas sung by Tate McRae. Unfortunately that one seems like an apple music exclusive. I think it's a nice cover though

Up Above the Northern Lights. Believe that's a Mannheim Steamroller
White Christmas.
The melody and chords both more complex than the average poppy Christmas song and yet are still musically perfect to me somehow.
The movie is surprisingly good too.
Volume: 11/10
Snowman by sia has been one of my favorites a couple of years
Let the bodies hit the floor by Bing Cosby
lol
Anything by Darlene Love.
Somehow I've never heard this one until today, and I loved it. It really is a beautiful song, and I'm not even religious
Harry Belafonte did a good amount of xmas songs, all of them great.
I've always loved this one because it gives me a Christmas feeling

christmas at ground zero - weird al
I'm not Christian/religious at all, but I still have a very deep nostalgia for classic Christmas hymns like Silent Night, O Holy Night, etc. I remember sitting beside my tree as a child listening to our music lights playing midis of all of them. The lyrics can be discarded entirely.
Christmas Time - The Darkness
Not that I'm deeply into the darkness (or rock, for that matter), but the darkness brings a breath of fresh air to an otherwise repeated to hell list of music, both in style and melody.
Blue Christmas by the king.
