Christmas music is fabulous, isn’t it? From Christmas carols to Christmas rock songs and pop songs, there’s something for everyone.

Most of the popular Christmas music that’s played tugs at the emotions. A lot of it moves us to tears because of those emotions.

That’s okay, but for many, the emotions that rise to the surface swamp listeners with feelings of sadness. The holidays can be a mine field for many.

Listening to songs about longing to be home, lost love, and longing can lead to a serious case of holiday blues. We know those songs: I’ll Be Home for Christmas, Please Come Home for Christmas, If We Make It Through December, etc. If those make you feel sad, then try this list…

10 BEST FUNNY CHRISTMAS SONGS

1. Christmas Don’t Be Late aka The Chipmunk Song by Alvin and the Chipmunks. This novelty song hit big in 1958 and sold millions.

It was #1 on Billboard, won three Grammys, and remains a perennial favorite. In today’s world, it charts digitally as new generations discover it. It’s one of the best-selling and most recognized holiday tunes ever.

2. Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms, 1957, or Brenda Lee, 1964. Many artists have recorded this song, but Brenda Lee’s version remains supreme. Since 2019, her version has charted every year on the Billboard Hot 100.

3. Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee. In 2023, it reached #1 on the Billboard Top 100.

4. A Holly Jolly Christmas aka Have a Holly Jolly Christmas was most famously performed by Burl Ives. The recording was used in the classic 1964 stop-motion animated TV special, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, in which Ives also voiced the narrator, Sam the Snowman, who sang the popular tune. It’s one of the top 25 most-performed holiday songs.

5. Feliz Navidad was written and first recorded by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter José Feliciano. The song is upbeat and has a great message. It taught the world how to say Merry Christmas in Spanish. I love the song.

6. Let It Snow was written by the famous duo of lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in July 1945 in Hollywood, California, during a heatwave as they imagined cooler conditions. The version by Dean Martin remains popular today.

7. Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer, a novelty song

written by Randy Brooks was originally performed by Elmo Shropshire in 1979 under the brand of Elmo and Patsy, his then-wife Patsy Trigg.

8. Santa Claus Is Back in Town was written in 1957 by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and first recorded by Elvis Presley for Elvis’ Christmas Album, the best-selling Christmas/holiday album of all time in the United States. The song has become a rock and roll Christmas standard.

9. Baby, It’s Cold Outside was written by Frank Loesser and his wife Lynn in 1940s as a playful flirtatious duet. Sadly, in today’s world, the song has been banned because of complaints from radio listeners who decry the male singer as maliciously coercing the female.

I don’t see it that way—perhaps because I write romantic comedy. I see the song as a flirtatious scene from a romcom set to music. The version recorded by Dean Martin made the song a pop hit.

10. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year was written in 1963 by Edward Pola and George Wyle. It was recorded and released that same year by pop singer Andy Williams. His recording of the musical celebration of all the reasons Christmas is a wonderful time remains popular today.
