Christmas has always been associated with choirs singing ageless carols be it at the church or the street corner. These are songs which when performed with faith in the heart, stir up such powerful emotions that it becomes a spiritual experience both for the listener as well as the performer. Music has such wondrous effects that even the most hardened hearts grow tender. There are some carols, which have existed for over a thousand years, and such is the appeal that every year artists come out with new Christmas songs. And if you have kept yourself updated, you might have heard some choirs sing a medieval carol followed by a recent Christmas pop hit. There is a large repertoire of Christmas songs to choose the best from. Many times polls have been conducted to find favorites of the people.

Given here is a compiled list of some of the best Christmas songs of all time, where the old and new settle down harmoniously amongst each other!
