    Status Quo - It's Christmas Time for me, with the Darkness a close second.

    I thought Status Quo - It's Christmas Time was from yonks ago but only 2008.

    The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End)
    Bob Dylan - Must Be Santa
    Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me
    Coldplay - Christmas Lights.

    Only four songs I've enjoyed from this century. Even at that the last two there I would never put on myself but would consider them decent radio songs. The top two for me are classics.

    As highlighted, the second one is the better of the two, although that's not saying much! The Jonas Brothers one is too tedious to even let it play through, while Honest Christmas Song is slightly humorous.

    It has to be Oh Santa! by Mariah Carey. I nominated it and it's a nice catchy number, including some nice melodic hooks. I did give a quick listen to the other two contenders and they left me cold!

    Oh Santa! was on a Top of the Pops 2 Christmas special a few years ago and will probably be repeated again at some stage!

    This is the original version from 2010. The video shown above was a rehashed version from last month with Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson.

    I have to say I enjoyed that Dropkick Murphys' song, which I had not heard before, despite the video! The Bob Dylan song, which I have heard a few times before on Christmas FM, is just alright. But....

    NewSong's (didn't know that was their name) The Christmas Shoes gets my vote. It's the tune and the style as much as anything. Sorry!

    My vote goes to Julian Casablancas as highlighted. It's a pleasant alternative-oriented tune.....and I nominated it!

    I had a listen to the other two songs. The Megahan Trainor one is pretty disposable. The George Michael song, however, is intriguing and I like it. I never heard it before. I take it that Christmas FM never played it.
