It’s that time of year again… So, in an attempt to spread the holiday cheer, here is a list of my favorite Christmas songs. And as I tried to narrow it down to five, I realized there are actually a lot of great holiday songs I love. Some contenders for the top spots that didn’t quite make it include: Jingle Bell Rock, The Christmas Song, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and The Christmas Song.

#5: Baby It’s Cold Outside (as sung on Elf)

#4: I’ll Be Home For Christmas

#3: O Holy Night
This is such a perfect song. Starts off slow and quiet, then build momentum and ends with a whole lot of drama. And I love Mariah’s version (yea, surprise, surprise!)

#2: White Christmas
As far back as I can remember, this has been one of my favorite Christmas songs. I’m sure it has something to do with the movie. And whoodathunkit that there’s actually a music video for it??

#1: All I Want For Christmas Is You
Was there ever any doubt this would be my number one?? C’mon, even if you don’ t love Mariah like I do, you can’t deny this is an awesome song.
