Thanksgiving is over, which means that it is finally socially acceptable to start bumping those Christmas songs in your car or in your living area. But don't just listen to any Christmas music, you have to listen to the best Christmas songs.
Here is a totally and completely unbiased* list of scientifically proven** best Christmas songs to listen to this season.
*It's definitely biased...
**There is no scientific proof.
"Merry Christmas, Darling" by The Carpenters
This classic Christmas song is not necessarily traditional, but it's the perfect song to play when you're missing that special someone during the Christmas season.
"Sleigh Ride" by Leroy Anderson
What makes this instrumental the best is the actual galloping noises and horse whip cracking heard throughout the song. And don't forget about the grand finale neigh at the end!
"Christmas Don't Be Late" by Alvin and the Chipmunks
If you like to listen to squeaky voices sing in harmony for two and a half minutes, then this song is right for you
"This Christmas" by Chris Brown
Possibly the best (and maybe only?) groovy Christmas tune that is a great one to get down to and have an epic sing session to.
Any Michael Buble Christmas Song
Honestly, the Bubs is basically the modern day face of Christmas songs. You cannot escape his jazzy tunes during the season, so don't even try.
"Here Comes Santa Claus" by Elvis Presley
This song perfectly captures the sound of your drunk uncle at the Christmas dinner. Use this as a way of prepping for big family Christmas gatherings!
"Winter Wonderland/Don't Worry Be Happy" by Pentatonix ft. Tori Kelly
Pentatonix's last Christmas album was a big hit, and the best song on that album was this little gem of a mashup.
"Mele Kalikimaka" by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters
Winters can be long and cold, but this song will instantly take you to a tropical island (even though you'll still probably be freezing your toes off). But hey, imagination does wonders!
"Christmas Time is Here" by The Peanuts Gang
I'm going to be honest with you guys: this song gives me the ultimate feels. Nothing says "Christmas time is here!" than this song (because it actually says it.)
Who can forget this '80s hit? Wham's classic heartbroken -- love ballad with a holiday twist is always a go to karaoke pick. It's honestly pretty hard to not sing along to this song.
"The Christmas Waltz" by She and Him
This song gives off those vibes you get when you're sipping your favorite coffee drink in a swanky coffee shop, so naturally it will please the hipsters in your family/friend circle.
"All I Need is Love" by CeeLo Green ft. The Muppets
The only think better than CeeLo's Christmas album cover is this song that's on it. Definitely a Christmas dance party jam
"The Little Drummer Boy" by Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash manages to make this solemn song sound even more solemn, yet still pleasant thanks to his vocal prowess.
"Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano
Do I even have to explain this one? No, I don't. It's already a given that this should be included in all Christmas playlist.
"All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey
I believe the saying goes "Save the best for last!" and that is exactly what I did here. Yes, this song is very popular, but for good reason! So even if you did have all these songs on your playlist except for this one, you might as well just go home.
