There are several versions of this well known Christmas hit. However, my favorite one would have to be the instrumental version notoriously played by the Trans Siberian Orchestra. Most individuals would agree that listening to the orchestra perform is intense and captivating. I have never met someone who doesn't enjoy this song.

This Christmas song is a perfect match for those who enjoy celebrating a white Christmas or are just a fan of the winter. Whenever I hear this song I reminisce about being home snuggled up in a blanket, drinking cocoa, and watching a holiday movie. Christmas with snow is simply breathing taking and beautiful.

3. Baby it's Cold Outside
This popular duet has been around for years and it continues to be well loved. For those of us who have had crushes, we have been in similar situations of persuasion. The lyrics describe I man wanting a romantic relationship with a woman who is reluctant but gives into his charm. Couples find themselves sing this song to each other.
2. Santa Baby
Santa Baby is a promiscuous song that allows girls to feel good about being a little greedy during the holiday season.

This flirtatious jam is great for winter performances such as choirs.
