1. Christmas Cookies (George Strait, 1999) -- Of course we must begin the list with our very own legendary country artist, George Strait. George has an extensive tracklist of holiday classics, but Christmas Cookies is an all-time favorite. This song made its debut in 1999, and was instantly a popular hit with its amusing tune and authentic lyrics.
2. Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow! (Dean Martin) -- Snow is the perfect accessory to Christmas, and this song paints that picture beautifully.
3. White Christmas (Bing Crosby) -- Bing Crosby’s Academy Award winning Christmas carol made its premiere in the 1942 film Holiday Inn. The vintage voice of Bing over a soft melody is one of the best holiday songs recorded.
4. Blue Christmas (Elvis Presley) -- Who knew that such a soft heartbreaking song on Christmas could sound so pleasing? Elvis Presley’s Blue Christmas is a nostalgic melody that is still soothing to listen to.
5. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Frank Sinatra) -- Nothing compares to the voice of Frank Sinatra caroling over this Christmas classic.

7. The Christmas Song (Nat King Cole) -- The world was instantly swooned by Nat King Cole’s soft crooning of, “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.” Cole recorded this song three times, but the one we know of today was recorded in 1961.
