In a yuletide celebration where Christian artists shine, the top 25 Christmas songs of 2023 are like a joyous sleigh ride through a snow-covered landscape of faith and festivity.

Sarah Reeves leads the festive parade with a soulful rendition of Go Tell It On The Mountain, as if she’s sending a heavenly text to spread the good news that Christmas has arrived, and it’s time to turn up the holiday cheer.

Tasha Layton’s Giving Christmas Away is the musical equivalent of a warm hug, reminding us that the best gift is often the one you give. And when Blessing Offor tackles Paul McCartney’s classic with Wonderful Christmastime, it’s like he’s saying, “Hey Paul, I’m putting my own spin on this, hope you don’t mind!” Spoiler alert: McCartney would probably approve of the soulful upgrade.

Cochren & Co.’s nostalgic rendition of There’s No Place Like Home for the Holidays triggers a sense of longing for the comfort of family, or at least a cozy fireplace and a cup of hot cocoa. Mac Powell’s original Christmas Time Again My Friend feels like a musical embrace, wrapping listeners in the warmth of holiday camaraderie.

We The Kingdom takes us on a sonic sleigh ride to the tropics with Christmas in Hawaii, proving that you can have palm trees and presents at the same time. Michael W. Smith’s Christmas Is Here is a powerful anthem of hope and joy surrounded by a timeless melody that makes this song feel like an instant classic.

Travis Cottrell’s Behold (with O Holy Night) and Blanca’s God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Joy) are like the cool carol kids who effortlessly blend traditional melodies with a modern beat. Building 429 and Terrian team up on Hope Is Here (Do Not Fear), delivering a message so uplifting, it’s like a Christmas angel sent to banish any holiday blues.

The playlist is a musical buffet of holiday treats, featuring Jeremy Rosado’s soulful Silver Bells, Phil Wickham’s worshipful Manger Throne, and Katy Reynolds’ uplifting Hallelujah He’s Here. Jeff & Sheri Easter’s If You Listen and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas are the sonic equivalent of sipping hot cocoa by the fire, while Community Music’s Come and Behold – Christmas Unplugged adds a contemplative touch, as if saying, “Let’s take a moment to appreciate the beauty of these jingle bells.” Does anyone know what jingle bells are?

Blessing Offor’s Little Drummer Boy is a unique and captivating interpretation of the well-known carol. Blessing appears on the list more than any other artist. Ben Fuller and Jonathan Traylor’s Ring Them Bells provides a fresh perspectives on beloved classics.

The collection concludes with TAYA’s O Holy Night, which is a breathtakingly beautiful rendition of the beloved Christmas carol, a celestial melody that resonates with the spirit of the season.

So, if your Christmas playlist needs a heavenly upgrade, these tunes are like musical gifts from the North Pole, if Jesus lived there and not that other guy. They’re the soundtrack to a holiday season filled with laughter, joy, and the occasional cheesy Christmas sweater. After all, what’s Christmas without a little humor and a whole lot of heart? These Christian artists have wrapped it all up in a bow and delivered a musical feast for the soul.
