1. Dropkick Murphys - The seasons upon us
2. Coldplay - Christmas lights  ;D
3. 2000 miles - The Pretenders

3 is not enough tbf, Last Christmas, FONY, All alone on Christmas from Home Alone, the list is endless.  So many Christmas yossi's out there, it s hard to condense a list down

I hate X factor for what it done to Christmas numbers 1's

On that, is there any new or recent Christmas songs that we will be listening to in 20 years?
Modern Christmas songs have been relatively poor. If I had to pick a couple I'd guess at:

Coldplay - Christmas Lights
Kelly Clarkson - Underneath the Tree

Songs like Lily Allen's version of Somewhere Only We Know could be popular at Christmas due to their association with TV ads but aren't necessarily Christmas songs.

Chicago Hurling

Fairytale of NY
Fairytale of NY Live
Fairytale of NY cover

More Seriously

Fairytale of NY- Pogues
Run Run Rudolph- Chuck Berry
Christmas Eve/Sarajevo- Trans Siberian Orchestra
Chicago -> Milwaukee -> Galway

Mayo for Sam

The Darkness had a decent once there, maybe 5 years ago that seems to be going rightly --- I actually looked that up, it was back in 2003.

Yes. You're barred!  ;D

Captain Obvious

Rage against the machine, Killing in the name has to be one of the top Christmas songs for stopping whatever manufactured song Simon Cowell told the public make number one.
