It’s Christmas Time!: Most Popular Christmas Songs

By: Anna Wong ‘24

Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. The Christmas season brings with it memories of spending time with family, drinking delicious eggnog, and singing Christmas carols! Some may say the Christmas season begins too early, however I believe that the Christmas spirit can never come too early. After Thanksgiving, my family sets up our tree and Christmas lights. Music fills the air as we hang ornaments on the branches. Here are the top 20 Christmas songs (according to Spotify) in the United States.
