Our Favourite Christmas Carols & Songs

Nothing makes us feel more Chrismassy than Christmas Carols being played on the TV or radio, and who can resist singing along.

Originally written to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, singing carols has become a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. Children learn to sing along to Jingle Bells almost as soon as they can talk and this continues throughout their school life with many schools holding carol concerts before the Christmas break.

Hundreds of Christmas carols and songs have been written over the centuries and we all have our favourites.   Below is a list of the team at UnderTheChristmasTree’s favourites, is yours among it?
