My Top 10 Picks for Christmas Songs

10. Last Christmas - Wham!
Heartbreak and Christmas shouldn't fit so perfectly hand-in-hand, but this song seems to be an exception. Lots have covered it, but no version compares to Wham!'s original "Last Christmas."


9. What Christmas Means To Me - Stevie Wonder
This catchy, jingle bell beat will draw you in, while these sweet lyrics will have you thinking about what Christmas means to you.


8. I Need A Silent Night - Amy Grant
This more unknown Amy Grant song is one that needs to be showcased, for it's true lyrics about needing a 'silent night' after the hectic days of Christmas shopping. This song will really get your priorities straight during the Christmas season.


7. Beautiful Christmas - Big Time Rush
All I can say here is that this song will leave you wanting to have a big time beautiful Christmas!


6. Cold December Night - Michael Buble
Off of his new Christmas album, titled Christmas, this Michael Buble original will have you bobbing your head to it's cute, Christmasy beat as Michael sings about what he wants on this cold December night.


5. The Cat and the Mouse Carol - Mormon Tabernacle Choir ft. David Archuleta
Just this year has this song become a favorite of mine. Never hearing it before now, this adorable Christmas song reflects a little cat and mouse's view of Jesus' birth. This beautiful arrangement from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and David Archuleta has brought this song to life.


4. Believe - Josh Groban
Josh Groban has a lot of Christmas hits, and though this one may not showcase his powerful voice, it holds a lot more meaning than the other classics. "Believe" from The Polar Express is an uplifting Christmas ballad that Josh prevails in, giving the song a certain holiday 'magic'.


3. All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey
This song has been one of my all time favorite Christmas songs pretty much my whole life. When I was younger I only focused on the fun, upbeat rhythm, but as I got older paid more attention to the meaningful and relatable lyrics.


2. Step Into Christmas - Elton John
This song has become one of my favorites over the last few years. With it's catchy beat and fun lyrics, it makes for a great holiday tune.


1. Melodies Of Christmas - David Archuleta
What better song for Christmas than a song about Christmas music? David Archuleta's "Melodies Of Christmas" describes the important of holiday melodies, in it's own cute, holiday melody! And for that reason, puts it at the number one spot.
