By Kelly Hoang - December 20, 2025
1. “Please Come Home for Christmas” by Eagles
Nostalgic, soulful, and quietly somber. This song feels like staring out the window of a late-night train heading into the city, thinking of a past lover. It captures the feeling of reflecting on the past year’s events.
2. “santa doesn’t know you like i do” by Sabrina Carpenter
Catchy and playful with a wink of flirtation. Sabrina Carpenter puts a modern-pop spin on a classic Christmas story.
3. “The Christmas Song” by Olivia Dean
Soulful and refined, Olivia Dean brings a breath of fresh air to a holiday classic. With her rise this year, we already know that she can beautifully mix modern and classic sounds, and this rendition is no exception.
4. “Last Christmas” by Wham!
A Christmas staple for a reason. This song perfectly balances holiday cheer with heartbreak. It’s festive without feeling overplayed.
5. “Christmas Wrapping” by The Waitresses
With the renewed love of music from the 1980s—thanks to the new season of “Stranger Things”—everyone will love this fun, quirky, and festive song. It’s full of energy and holiday chaos.
6. “Little Saint Nick” by The Beach Boys
Bright and joyful. This song feels like a Christmas vacation, bringing warmth to the cold season. It’s fun, proving that holiday hits don’t have to be calm and quiet.
