Some of the best lessons about Christmas come from the quotes in A Charlie Brown Christmas. The 1965 holiday special was one of the first produced for television in the United States. It inspired audiences to rethink the important aspects of the season (and give uglier Christmas trees a second chance). The special featured two versions of the original song "Christmas Time is Here" by Vince Guaraldi and Lee Mendelson. The first instrumental version was performed by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. How...

While the song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was already well known before the release of the 1964 film of the same name, several other songs were composed specifically for the film. As Rudolph traveled the arctic searching for his place in the world, he met many colorful characters, each of which had a unique song to sing. The film's entirety was narrated by one such character, Sam the Snowman, who also performed: "Silver and Gold." The now classic song was sung by Burl Ives, who had give...

The 2000 live-action How the Grinch Stole Christmas was a funnier versionof the Dr. Seuss classic that earned mixed reviews from audiences.

However, a ballad version of the song was recorded by Faith H...

The general public is more likely to have heard the song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" than have seen the film from which it originates. Meet Me in St. Louisis an MGM musical comedy that follows four sisters, one of which was played by singing legend Judy Garland, leading up to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. The film's original song, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, who reportedly (via NPR) wrote, threw away, and rewrote the pi...

While technically two different songs, "The Snow Miser Song" and "The Heat Miser Song" are often lumped as one. Today, it is a common sound used for fun makeup transformation videos on TikTok, but it originally comes from the stop-motion film, A Year Without a Santa Claus. Based on the Phyllis McGinley book of the same name (1956), this Rankin/Bass film follows two elves as they try to bring the spirit of Christmas back to the world and convince Santa that he is still needed. While on their j...

There are several unanswered questions about the Home Alone movies, such as how parents could forget their child so many times. But the franchise still managed to become an unlikely holiday favorite. What could have been a simple, slap-stick comedy for children was elevated by its musical score to a perfect portrayal of holiday spirit. "Somewhere in My Memory" was composed by legend John Williams, known for his work in films like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurrasic Park, and Indiana Jones. Need...

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmascan be categorized as both a Halloween and Christmas movie and contains songs that perfectly exemplify (and blend) the moods of both holidays. This allowed audiences with an affinity for the dark and spooky to finally find their place in the season of light and joy. The film contains ten songs written by Oingo Boingo frontman Danny Elfman. While actor Chris Sarandon lent his voice to the character Jack Skellington, Elfman did his musical performances...

The events of Polar Express make little logical sense, which is precisely the point. Based on the children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg, the story follows a boy who is beginning to doubt the existence of Santa Claus. Through his journey to the North Pole, he learns the importance of simply believing. "Believe" was written for the credits by Glen Ballard and Alan Silvestri, and it caught on quickly in popular culture. Performed by Josh Groban, "Believe" was nominated at the 77...

- 'Christmas In Hollis' by Run DMC. Third party videos may contain adverts. From: The Night Before (2015), The Grinch (2018) and Holiday Rush (2019) Run DMC’s undeniable limousine-shaking Christmas hit - as heard on Argyle’s radio in Die Hard - has also cropped up in a staggering number of other festive films, such as The Night Before (2015), The Grinch (2018) and Holiday Rush (2019), not forgetting its TV appearances in shows like The US Office, Everybody Hates Chris, Chuck, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Orange Is the New Black and even The Simpsons.
- 'Last Christmas' by Wham! Third party videos may contain adverts. From: The Holiday (2006) and Last Christmas (2019) This song is such a Christmas mainstay it ended up inspiring its own Christmas film called, amazingly enough, Last Christmas.
- 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' by Mariah Carey. Third party videos may contain adverts. From: Love Actually (2003) Here’s a Christmas song that’s sold over 16 million records and currently sits very prettily at number 11 in the best-selling singles of all time chart.
- 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' by Judy Garland. Third party videos may contain adverts. From: Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) Frank Sinatra later recorded his own take on ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ in 1950 (and again in 1963), tweaking some of the lyrics as he did so, and those may well be the versions you adore, but the original (and best, for some) is Garland’s rendition, as first heard way back in 1944.
