Lyrics:

I don't want a lot for Christmas, There is just one thing I need. I don't care about the presents, Underneath the Christmas tree. I just want you for my own, More than you could ever know, Make my wish come true, All I want for Christmas is you.

I don't want a lot for Christmas, There is just one thing I need. Don't care about the presents, Underneath the Christmas tree. I don't need to hang my stocking, There upon the fireplace. Santa Claus won't make me happy, With a toy on Christmas Day.

I just want you for my own, More than you could ever know. Make my wish come true, All I want for Christmas is you, You, baby!

I won't ask for much this Christmas, I won't even wish for snow, I'm just gonna keep on waiting Underneath the mistletoe. I won't make a list and send it, To the North Pole for Saint Nick, I won't even stay awake to Hear those magic reindeer click.

'Cause I just want you here tonight, Holding on to me so tight, What more can I do? Baby, all I want for Christmas is you, You, baby!

All the lights are shining So brightly everywhere. And the sound of children's Laughter fills the air. And everyone is singing I hear those sleigh bells ringing. Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need? Won't you please bring my baby to me?

I don't want a lot for Christmas, This is all I'm asking for. I just wanna see my baby Standing right outside my door.

I just want you for my own, More than you could ever know, Make my wish come true, All I want for Christmas is you!

You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear. Voices singing let's be jolly, Deck the halls with boughs of holly.

Rockin' around the Christmas tree, Have a happy holiday. Everyone dancing merrily, In the new old-fashioned way.

Lyrics:

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corncob pipe and a button nose, And two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say, He was made of snow but the children know How he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that Old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head, He began to dance around!

Frosty the snowman Was alive as he could be. And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me.

Thumpety-thump-thump, Thumpety-thump-thump, Look at Frosty go! Thumpety-thump-thump, Thumpety-thump-thump, Over the hills of snow!

Frosty the snowman knew The sun was hot that day, So he said “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun, Now before I melt away!”

Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, Running here and there, All around the square, saying, “Catch me if you can!”

He led them down the streets of town, Right to the traffic cop, And he only paused a moment When he heard him holler “Stop!”

For Frosty the snowman Had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye, saying, “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again some day.”

Thumpety-thump-thump, Thumpety-thump-thump, Look at Frosty go! Thumpety-thump-thump, Thumpety-thump-thump, Over the hills of snow!

19. Jingle Bells

Probably one of the most popular Christmas songs for kids, ‘Jingle Bells’ is a yuletide staple.

Did you know there were four verses?

Lyrics:

Dashing through the snow, On a one-horse open sleigh, Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight! Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way! What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh!

A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank; Misfortune seemed his lot; He got into a drifted bank And we, we got upsot

A day or two ago, the story I must tell, I went out on the snow, And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by, In a one-horse open sleigh, He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away!

Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight, And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bob-tailed bay, Two-forty as his speed, Hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! you’ll take the lead!

20. Let it Snow

Another merry-but-mini popular Christmas song for kids, ‘Let it Snow’ makes even the coldest night feel warm and cozy.

We can almost hear that yuletide fire crackling…

Lyrics:

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping, And I've bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss good night, How I'll hate going out in the storm! But if you'll really hold me tight, All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we're still goodbying, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

21. Silent Night

We know that a silent night is at the top of your Christmas list!

If you want your little ones to relax and unwind throughout the festivities, this is one of the most calming kids’ Christmas songs for them to sing or listen to.

Lyrics:

Silent night, holy night! All is calm, all is bright. Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child. Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia, Christ the Savior is born! Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, holy night! Son of God love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face With dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

22. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

This is one of the best Christmas songs for kids to play at the start of the festive season (is November 1st too soon?).

The lyrics are a little tricky for younger elves, but they’ll certainly love to dance to it.

Lyrics:

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Everywhere you go. Take a look in the Five and Ten, Glistening once again, With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in every store, But the prettiest sight to see Is the holly that will be on your own front door.

A pair of Hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben. Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen, And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Everywhere you go. There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, One in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Soon the bells will start. And the thing that will make them ring Is the carol that you sing, Right within your heart.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in every store, But the prettiest sight to see Is the holly that will be on your own front door.

Sure it's Christmas once more…

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.

24. O Little Town of Bethlehem

Another popular easy Christmas carol for children to sing, the tune to ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’ is soft and relaxing ‒ another Christmas kids’ song that’d ideal around bedtime.

Lyrics:

O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, The silent stars go by. Yet in the dark street shineth The everlasting Light. The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above. While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together, Proclaim the holy birth. And praises sing to God, the King, And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently, The wondrous Gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin. Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray. Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell. Oh, come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel!
