Long ago, back in the days when sales of vinyl singles really did control the position of songs in the charts, Christmas was a time when glurge-laden seasonal ditties dominated those charts for weeks on end, as parents and grandparents purchased them for children (and vice versa). Even now, these tunes are virtually ubiquitous on the radio (as well as in stores, malls, and practically every other place with a PA system) every November and December. Sure, every so often somebody will pen an Anti-Christmas Song as an antidote, but the only real way to escape the onslaught is to become a Hikikomori – or go off the grid entirely – for at least two months each year. Nonetheless, almost everyone's got that favorite album that they will lovingly pull out from the bottom of the cabinet when the end of the year rolls around. Despite the many cheap, irritating, and soulless renditions (and re-renditions, and re-re-renditions ad nauseam) to be heard all over the place during the holiday season, the original simple melodies are still there, just waiting to be heard and to remind us why these songs really are merry and bright. And for those who really like this stuff, at least one radio station in almost every town switches to all Christmas music all the time on December 1 (if not earlier). In other words, when done right, these are still indisputably Awesome Music. Trivia: If you listen closely, you might notice that quite a few supposed "Christmas songs" have little if anything to do with Christmas at all. "Jingle Bells", "Jingle Bell Rock", "Winter Wonderland", "Sleigh Ride", "Frosty the Snowman", "A Marshmallow World", "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm", and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" are technically just songs about winter and never even mention any specific holiday; some of them would really work just as well on Valentine's Day, which typically has more winter-appropriate weather than Christmas. But after many, many, many years of Pop-Cultural Osmosis, these tunes will forever be tied to Christmas -– even in those parts of the world where it doesn't snow in December. From a marketing standpoint, it's easy to understand why anybody would want to make a Christmas song or album. If you can create a successful hit that gets played each and every year, you can keep the money rolling in for decades. "Jingle Bells" was written in 1857, while many of the other seasonal favorites date back to the first half of the 20th century. But regardless (and thanks in no small part to the Nostalgia Filter), all of these songs are – in contrast to just about anything else of similar antiquity – guaranteed to get continued airplay and sales every December. xkcd helps break things down with this graph. Christmas Carolers will be found singing these, as you might expect. The Grinch, meanwhile, may counter with an Anti-Christmas Song. Yes, you are going to hear Snowy Sleigh Bells. This is simply a fact of life. Cherubic Choirs are also a staple. Interestingly, a surprisingly high percentage of popular 20th-century Christmas songs were composed by Jewish songwriters. Make of that what you will. Also, at the risk of being pedantic: Christmas carols, properly defined, are primarily songs celebrating the religious festival; originally folk songs for dancing, the term now includes Christmas hymns and an ever-growing number of newly composed carols, sung in church, at concerts and elsewhere. If you're looking for the famous story by Charles Dickens, that's A Christmas Carol. (Except when it's Yet Another Christmas Carol.) Sister Trope to Halloween Songs. |

The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York". Notable for turning into an insult fest mid-way through, which was controversially censored by Radio 1 in 2007 for a couple of days. Interestingly, Radio 2 (which has a decidedly less daring reputation than its lower-numbered sister station) played it unexpurgated. People are still arguing about it to this day, as it involves Kirsty MacColl calling Shane McGowan a fairly awful, if common, homophobic insult (although said insult actually is used in its older meaning, which merely means "idiot"). The lack of censorship is basically down to the fact that it's been a fixture of the Christmas music rotation since 1987 and everyone knows the lyrics anyway; a modern cover version that tried to replace them with something less offensive just didn't sound quite right and the song's just too popular to not play at all. On the other hand, the "you're cheap and you're haggard" version was orginally performed by MacColl in 1992, and when Radio 1 censored it again in 2019, the resultant Twitter spat saw the official Pogues feed supporting bleeping or replacing it. Special mention should be made of this song. It doesn't celebrate Christmas at all (It's merely set on Christmas Eve). It is more about the eroding of dreams and the people you've come to hate (but are stuck with). The British keep voting it "Best Christmas Song" in various polls. Something about being stuck with family resonates with us, we think. (Not to mention MacColl was a beloved singer in the UK whose accidental death in 2000 is still mourned.) |

Oddly enough, "When You Wish Upon a Star" is considered a Christmas song in Japan, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark (which is all the more hilarious when you learn that the film itself was originally supposed to take place around the Christmas season). They probably conflated the star that led the Magi with the star Geppetto wishes on. This has led to it being performed for a number of Christmas albums, such as those by Rod Stewart, Mary J. Blige, Celtic Thunder and Idina Menzel. In the Scandinavian countries it's possibly tied to Disney's TV special From All of Us to All of You, a perennial must-see. | |

The Harry Potter books have a few In-Universe parodies. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the suits of armor have enchantments that make them sing Christmas carols. Peeves the Poltergeist hides in them and substitutes his own (very rude) lyrics. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius Black sings "God Rest Ye merry, Hippogriffs" to Buckbeak. |

Merry Christmas (1945) by Bing Crosby is the best-selling Christmas album of all time. His version of "White Christmas", which appeared on this album but was originally recorded for the 1942 movie Holiday Inn, holds the Guinness World Record for the best-selling single ever, with more than 50 million copies sold. When other versions of the song are factored in, it's still the best-selling song of all time, with over 100 million copies of this one song sold. | |

In A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All, Stephen performs the cheery, extremely unsubtle "Another Christmas Song," which is all about people buying "Another Christmas Song" and hopefully making it a yearly Christmas standard so that Stephen can get rich. Multiple levels of metafiction at once coupled with multiple levels of Special Effect Failure. And let us not forget "Can I Interest You in Hanukkah?" the token multicultural song, and a sort of anthem for Informed Judaism. And Toby Keith's "War on Christmas", a subtle (perhaps TOO subtle) parody of Strawman Political rants, swearing violent revenge against the forces of political correctness. |

The cast of Phineas and Ferb have a Christmas album with a couple parodies. One has Buford annoying Baljeet with a self-aggrandizing version of "Good King Wenceslas"; another one has Major Monogram of all people singing "Perry the Platypus" to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman", accompanied by Carl's commentary. And then there's the whole cast's collective version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas". | |

"Pass It On" from Fraggle Rock. Oddly enough, the episode the song was written for ("The Perfect Blue Rollie") wasn't specifically intended as a Christmas Episode, but was released on two Christmas-themed compilations for its themes of giving and You Mean "Xmas". It was also performed on A Muppet Family Christmas for this same reason, as Kermit and Robin walk into a Fraggle hole and check in on their winter festival. The Dandy Warhols later covered the song; their version can be found on the multi-artist Cover Album Here To There. From the show's actual Christmas Episode, check out "There's a Promise" and the instrumental "Festival of the Bells". "Keep Christmas with You (All Through the Year)". Self-explanatory in theme, this song features in both Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and Elmo Saves Christmas. |

Butthole Surfers released a Noise Rock version of "Good King Wencelaus" as a single. It mainly fits this category because, while the backing vocals retain the original lyrics, lead vocalist Gibby Haynes spends most of the song in a faux-drunken monologue (complete with slurred speech, stuttering and the occasional Alcohol Hic), where he's alternately commenting on the music itself or just ranting incoherently about, say, bugs having sex. | |

And there's the 1970 version by The Jackson 5, where Michael substitutes "mule" for "lamb". Also the only time you'll hear "Baby Jesus" in the song (apart from the Warners' version, which is saying something), instead of the classical "Baby Jesu" or the "little baby" more commonly heard today. | |

"Oh Tannenbaum" in the style of Rammstein. "Zombie Claus" is a Christmas parody of "Dragula" by Rob Zombie, also incorporating elements of "Jingle Bells" into the arrangement. |

World's Dumbest... features a few clips of people singing Christmas songs (albeit for a very loose definition of "singing"). One clip features a mother/daughter duo lifelessly singing "Go Tell It on the Mountain". The mother looks like she's only half-awake, while her daughter clearly looks like she would rather be anywhere else. Another clip has a woman singing her own song "Excuse My Christmas". She's horribly off-key, and the poor quality of the animated background is mercilessly mocked by the commentators. The "Holidays" episode starts with the cast singing their own version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas". The "partridge in a pear tree" focuses on Danny Bonaduce, aka Danny Partridge. |

A youtube user made a parody of "Hark! The Angel Voices Sing!" by crossing it over with Portal and having the turrets singing, called, "Hark! The Turret Voices Sing!" about how all will bow down before the animal king and any who resist will be blown from the skies. Needless to say, it's a fine example of Black Comedy. Followed up a year later with Carol of The Turrets. How many Christmas songs can you think of that talk about neurotoxin and GLaDOS? |
