Christmas carols are some of the first songs we learn in life, and some of the oldest music still performed regularly today. We look back at 16 of the most long-lasting Christmas carols and make our pick for the best of all time.

For our 2024 Holiday Music special we focus on the sillier, campier holiday songs from the past to the present.

The podcast discusses 16 of the greatest holiday-music albums of all time, featuring Christmas classics by Bing Crosby, Carpenters, Mariah Carey, Jackson 5, Amy Grant, Kylie Minogue, and many more.

The panelists consider 16 of the most-loved Christmas pop songs released before 1980. These are all musical chestnuts, and at least one is roasting over an open fire.

The panelists get into the holiday spirit by debating 32 of the holliest, jolliest holiday pop songs of the past 40 years.
