If there’s one thing that makes this time of year even more magical than the gifts, family time and holiday parties, it’s the music. Christmas just ain’t Christmas without it.
We all got that favorite Christmas song that we long to hear each year. It’s an indescribable, spine-tingling feeling you get when hearing that first Christmas song of the year on the radio. When those familiar holiday tunes grace our eardrums, we know that it is officially that festive time of year.
From blues and soul to hip hop and R&B, those memorable moments are even more special with those timeless Christmas songs. Whether party-starting grooves like Kurtis Blow’s “Christmas Rappin” to the heart-tugging sentiment “What Do the Lonely Do” to the nasty naughtiness of “Back Door Santa,” it is the music that shapes this time of year. So we compiled a list of 25 of the greatest Christmas songs of all time.
