I know the Mariah Carey song is hated because its overused, but its also objectively a well produced piece of pop music.
My favorite though is O Holy Night. Performed well I want to stop and listen to it. It moves me, and I dont give enough of a fuck about religion to call myself an athiest.

They all suck. I hate them all because they get stuck in my head on a loop.
Not a religion fan or a country music fan, but just thinking about Martina McBride singing O Holy Night makes me tear up a little.
Edit: erroneously said Trisha Yearwood when I meant Martina McBride
Sufjan Stevens - Sister Winter
Such a beautiful tune, starts so slow and haunting and ends up so hopeful.
A Christmas Song.
Yeah, but which one? /s
Jackie Evancho’s ‘Someday at Christmas’ Album is great.
First to Eleven’s Christmas covers are mostly good rock versions of the popular pop songs.
It’s a Gamer’s Christmas! - The Chalkeaters feat. PiNKII is an amusing song. Their Skyrim song is fantastic too.
The only Christmas-related media I like in any capacity, is the OG Grinch cartoon. So Thurl Ravenscroft is the only person I wanna hear singing on Christmas.
As an atheist, I don’t like religious xmas music. But I love these songs based on the Cthulhu Mythos. The HP Lovecraft Historical Society did a fantastic job on them! I have 2 CDs of xmas holiday music from them (much more than this playlist has), and an adaptation of The Fidder on the Roof called A Shoggoth on the Roof.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite thingsThis is my favorite Christmas song because as soon as I hear those lines, I’m transported to Barstow California, on the edge of the desert. I’m riding in a whale of a car and traveling at great speed. All the while diving deep into a blender of illicit substances.
But it isn’t a Christmas song. It’s from The Sound of Music…
Yes, but the shell of Christmas is like a gelatinous blob that swallows everything around it. Look at how many perfectly good winter tunes have been corrupted into being slaved to Christmas. Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells (written for Thanksgiving), Frosty th Snowman. The list is endless.

You’re my kind of people.
I’d throw in Charlie Brown Christmas music, for nostalgia sake. I’m actively trying not to be a complete curmudgeon.
Christmas Time is Here is my favorite!
Glad to see Fairytale of New York here. I was going to make the comment if I didn’t find it.
With lyrics like this, what’s not to like:
You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap, lousy removed. Happy Christmas, your arse, I pray God it’s our last.
Celebrate Me Home is my favorite. I can listen to it even in the summer
I searched and found this playlist of alternate carols last week.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqAaxjrofZ669u1edytC5otNjn_EWuRVt
A cheerful mix of science, cthuhlu, and athiestic themed carols.
