- ‘Santa Baby’ Michael Bublé
Basically, Michael Bublé is straight. No ho-ho-homo here.
- ‘Spaceman Came Travelling’ Chris de Burgh
What if Jesus was an alien? Discuss. (my personal fave, sorry it’s a banger)
- ‘O Holy Night’
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaalll on your kneeeeeeeeeeees
- ‘Mistletoe’ Justin Bieber
The most heartfelt emotional lyrics our online team has ever heard: “the wise men follow the star, the way I follow my heart”.
- ‘Driving Home for Christmas’ Chris Rea
Self-explanatory.
- ‘It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas’ Perry Como
Some loveable gender roles for ya, but a classic.

A true staple.
- ‘All I Want For Christmas is You’ Mariah Carey
We all know the best version of this song is in Love Actually with that kid on the drums.

Break up anthem, and one of George Michael’s finest.
Honorary Mentions: ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’ Shakin’ Stevens; ‘I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday’ Wizzard; ‘Stay Another Day’ East 17; ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ Paul McCartney and of course ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ Band Aid.
