Best Christmas Songs

These are some of the best Christmas songs and they would be perfect to use in some of my favorite Christmas party games this holiday season!

Two of my favorite party games are musical ones. In How Do You Doo, players have to sing “Doos” to get other players to guess a song. And in Name that Tune, players have to guess the song title and artist to win points for their team. I posted about How Do You Doo here and Name that Tune here, so I won’t go into the full instructions now. These would work great for these minute to win it Christmas games as well!

For now, here’s a list of 60 Christmas songs tthat would be perfect for either of these games. I only included songs that I personally recognize and ones that you’d find on the “best christmas songs” lists, but I do know quite a bit of Christmas music though so feel free to just use the ones that work best for your group.

Since so many people sing the same Christmas songs, I didn’t put artists with these ones for Name That Tune. You can either just use whatever version of the song you already have (and add the artist yourself) or you can play without artists. This post contains affiliate links for your convenience.

Oh and I’ve created three downloadable versions for you below – one that is for music lovers, meaning it’s the harder version without any hints/artists, one that should be used for How Do You Doo that has hints (to help people who may not know which song Sleigh Ride for instance is), and then one that’s just in a list (not for cutting out) for Name That Tune. Enjoy!
