Any good Christmas kids party will need the best ho-ho-holiday tunes. But when you’re pressed for time, we totally get slapping on a Christmas station and moving on to something else. However, if you really want music everyone will enjoy, why not try our curated mix of modern pop Christmas songs interspersed with a few classics? There are a couple of throwbacks on this list, but also quite a few newer hits from the kinds of artists your little ones will ask for like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Harry Styles. However, we’ve left off that WHAM song (you can add that one yourself if you want).

What is the most popular Christmas song for kids?
It’s probably "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." According to Classical Music by the BBC Music Magazine, it’s second only to White Christmas. However, it’s not on our list simply because it’s more fun, we think, to sing the more traditional songs like Jingle Bells, Silent Night and the like without music. A cappella. That’s a fun way to pass the time on long car rides or while making festive food and can get the whole family involved.
