Certain songs become ever-present every December, and with Christmas just two days away, I thought of highlighting the Top 10 Most Popular Festive Songs.
-
The famous festive songs usually feature timeless classics like 'White Christmas,' 'Silent Night,' and 'Jingle Bells,' alongside modern staples like Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' Wham's 'Last Christmas,' and Brenda Lee's 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.'
The following renowned Christmas songs are celebrated for their lasting impact and festive spirit:
'White Christmas' — Bing Crosby
The most famous holiday song ever recorded, with estimated worldwide sales exceeding 50 million copies. It remains the bestselling single of all time.
'All I Want for Christmas Is You' — Mariah Carey
A modern anthem that dominates global charts every December. As of late 2025, it holds an 18x Platinum certification in the US and is often ranked as the No. 1 popular holiday track.
