Another popular Christmas song is “White Christmas.” Originally written by Irving Berlin and popularized by Bing Crosby, this timeless ballad has become a staple of the holiday season. Its evocative lyrics and beautiful melody capture the essence of the season, making it a favorite among many.
We can’t write about classics and not mention “Silent Night“, the Christmas song that has been around for many years, and was one of our Christmas Songs Explained. It was first performed in 1818 in Austria, and it has been translated into many languages. The song is a beautiful and peaceful ode to the night when Jesus was born, and it is often sung in churches and homes on Christmas Eve.
…and modern classics
On the other hand we have some modern classics like “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” by John Lennon and Yoko Ono – also one of our Songs Explained. It was released on his 1971 album, “Imagine”. The song is a carol that speaks about the end of the Vietnam War and the hope for peace on Earth. “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” is a powerful reminder of the importance of peace and unity during the holiday season.
Of course, no playlist would be complete without Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” This modern classic has become a fan favorite over the years, and its infectious beat and catchy chorus are sure to get you into the holiday spirit.
