The Ventures, ‘The Ventures’ Christmas Album’ (1965). This should be a train wreck at the beach: Sixties surf-rock versions of Christmas songs inanely augmented with jingling bells and other thematic accouterments. But it's quite excellent. Willie Nelson, ‘Pretty Paper’ (1979). In 1963, when he was still an aspiring songwriter, Nelson penned the tenderly ironic "Pretty Paper," which became a hit for Roy Orbison.

Sinatra's Christmas album could easily be on this list as one long hit song in-and-of-itself. But if we had to pick one serving from the legend's Christmas menu, his version of "Let it Snow" deserves the most accolade. In a common theme to most Christmas classics, "Let it Snow" was recorded during the hottest day of July by vocalist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in 1945.

Band Aid - 'Do They Know It's Christmas'. This was the first time the idea of a charity supergroup single came about, after Bob Geldof and Midge Ure saw Michael Buerk's TV report on the famine in Ethiopia.
From the same album as ‘It’s Raining Men’ (and pulling all the same moves with a festive twist), ‘Dear Santa’ is a seasonal stormer that represents the grooviest Christmas list ever written. Bonus points for the ’fa-la-la-la-la’ backing vocals. Being Jewish, songwriter Johnny Marks didn’t celebrate Christmas, but in the ’40s and ’50s he wrote some of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. Among them are ‘Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer’, ‘I Heard The Bells of Christmas Day’, and this – an easy-on-the-ear rock ’n’ roll tune sung by a 13-year-old Brenda Lee, which really needs no introduction.
