“Driving Home For Christmas” has become a festive favorite by stealth. Composed by highly-regarded UK singer-songwriter Chris Rea, the song first appeared on the flipside of Rea’s 1986 single “Hello Friend” but only became a full-fledged A-side when it was released as a single to help promote Rea’s first career retrospective, New Light Through Old ...
First recorded by American blues singer/pianist Charles Brown in 1960, “Please Come Home For Christmas” entered the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1961 and then appeared on the Christmas Singles chart for nine seasons, finally hitting No. 1 in 1972. With Don Henley taking lead vocals, Eagles’ 1978 version peaked at No.18 on the Hot 100, the first Ch...
Blondie are well-known for shouting out Fab 5 Freddy on their 1980 song “Rapture,” with lead singer Debbie Harry ending a verse with, “Fab 5 Freddy told me everybody’s fly.” What many don’t remember, though, is that the two linked up for a Christmas song called “Yuletide Throwdown” a year later. Blondie re-released the tune in 2021, shining a light...

Alyson and AJ Michalka co-wrote the winter and bright-spirited tune alongside Antonina Armato and Tim James. It was featured in the movies The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause and Barbie: A Perfect Ch...
The Jonas Brothers are known for hits like “Sucker” and “Burnin’ Up,” but what you may not know is that they actually released an original Christmas song back in 2007 for the Disney Channel Holidayrecord. Kevin, Joe, and Nick sing about forgetting presents and wishing for a “girl of my dreams” and even bring out some “fa-la-la-la-las” for good meas...
It’s not just bands that have original Christmas music. Even The Muppets have their very own holiday carol. Muppets Gonzo and Fozzie sing about wanting Santa Claus’ job in this little number. The song appears in both A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa and The Muppets: A Green and Red Christmas. It was even nominated for Outstanding Music and Lyr...
Though a long-established Christmas classic, “Mistletoe And Holly” – which was co-written by Frank Sinatra – actually failed to chart when Capitol released it in 1957. The song also featured on the star’s first full-length holiday album, A Jolly Christmas From Frank Sinatra, and has since become a festive staple thanks to covers by artists includin...
This song sees the cast of the Disney Channel Original Movie Descendants putting a holiday twist on their hit “Rotten to the Core.” The remixed version, “Jolly to the Core,” was sung by the movie’s stars, Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Sofia Carson, and Booboo Stewart. The cast performed the song during the television special, “Disney Parks Presents:...
By the time Burl Ives came round to recording “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” in 1964, the song had already been a hit song for scores of musicians, including Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Dean Martin, and Ella Fitzgerald. Ives had released a Christmas album in 1957, and he returned to festive music with his voiceover role as Sam the Snowman in the NBC...
“Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight)” first appeared as the B-side to the 1987 single “I Wanna Live” and the Ramones recorded the better-known version for their 1989 album Brain Drain. It featured Johnny Ramone’s thrashing guitar behind Joey’s Ramone’s punchy vocal delivery of his own lyrics. Although this song about avoiding conflict a...
