Charity Songs will not be included (except where noted): this rule exists specifically so we do not have to discuss Band Aid’s 1984 hit ‘ Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ I have to go buy my cat Jeff a little toy frog because she keeps getting into the garden and trying to eat the frogs.

Songs will be separated into tiers before we talk about the best ones in depth: full disclosure: this is mainly for word economy.
The version of the Christmas song entered in this list will be hereto forth recognised as the canonical and best example of that particular Christmas song. It can even be argued that some people have made a career out of doing this. No song can be entered twice in this list (except where noted): because they are in limited supply, many popular Christmas songs have been covered time and time again. In order to be recognised as a true Christmas Song, every song in this list must reference Christmas by name, or at the very least Christmas Themes in some way (except where noted): Christmas Themes include but are not limited to things like Santa, sleighs and related sleigh paraphernalia, Santa again, open fires, and also amorphous biblical things like mangers and kings and frankincense (note: exactly nobody can be certain what frankincense is, and it may even contain asbestos, who knows, so it will not be discussed in any further depth in this article). These are the ground rules for making the list: This list has been revised for 2018, and a bunch of breakthroughs in modern science have altered our findings. We are here to determine a definitive ranking of all of the best Christmas songs, decided upon after extensive research.
