“All I want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey

The song “All I Want for Christmas” is the most well-received Christmas song to this day. It is also one of the most played songs in the world. But for some people, it might be annoying because it is overplayed on every radio. I would describe it as a feel-good song to listen to whenever you want to get into the Christmas spirit.

“Let it Snow” by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne, performed by Frank Sinatra

This song will definitely make you feel the winter spirit. It’s a classic and also one of the most famous Christmas songs there are. Frank Sinatra gives the whole song a cozy feel.

“Baby It's Cold Outside” by Frank Loesser

This song is a winter classic about being able to spend time with your significant other. It makes you feel like you’re in winter and you have to stay inside and stay warm. This song is one of the world’s favorites, so it’s one of the best choices for a Christmas music playlist.

“Last Christmas” by Wham!

This song is another Christmas classic, bringing new love and memories to the fireplace. It’s about a man giving his heart to someone special the previous Christmas and they betrayed his love. So, he gave it to someone else this Christmas. This song is a feel good song if you want to listen to it with your partner.

“I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” by The Jackson 5

This song is another classic by The Jackson 5. It’s a playful song that tells the perspective of a kid seeing their mom with her husband who has dressed up as Santa for Christmas. This song makes you look forward to Christmas and all the feels of it. It is one of the best ways to get into the Christmas spirit.
