Whenever Christmas comes, my heart leaps with joy. Be it the smell of ice, hot chocolate, or the sound of jingle bells, everything about Christmas gives me chills. But especially, the old and newly released romantic Christmas songs are what I truly yearn for! Not because I can dance under the mistletoe with someone I love (like as if I have one *cries*), but to feel the warm Christmas love around me.
Every year, Mariah Carey is the most anticipated singer to drop a Christmas album, but on a personal note, to me, it is Justin Bieber. How can we forget his Mistletoe song? Come on! Similarly, there are so many romantic Christmas songs that are being released every year. To help you with your playlist, here is a list that I’ve handpicked for your romantic Christmas eve.
8 Romantic Christmas Songs to Feel the Christmas Chills
Snowman – Sia
“I want you to know that I’m never leaving.” Look how wholesome the lyrics are! Sia is undeniably one of the most profound singers of this era, thanks to her unique voice. One of her most popular songs is Snowman, in which she expresses her feelings for a snowman with whom she makes a love promise. This is definitely a beautiful song to dance to in a land of snow.
Christmas Lights – Coldplay
Every time I listen to Christmas lights, I find myself in an imaginary world where I’m looking into a world filled with lights and the cheers of people. The subtle upbeat music makes this song one of the best choices for a Christmas movie’s soundtrack. At the end of the day, when we say the song is by the Coldplay band, we all know it is going to be blissful.
Mistletoe – Justin Bieber
As I said before, I’m pretty biased when it comes to this song. Mistletoe is just the perfect song to confess your love to someone and kiss them under the mistletoe. With its romantic lyrics, the song, to date, stands as one of the finest romantic Christmas songs that won’t die or fade out for a long, long time.
Love is Christmas – Sara Bareilles
I can’t explain how soothing this song is. Sara’s voice was on point as she delivered the lyrics splendidly. The song is all about what true love is. The lyrics explain that love is not about expensive gifts or packed toys but about Christmas being such a game-changer. The song backed by piano makes this song a perfect choice to slow dance when the snow pours.
Underneath the Tree – Kelly Clarkson
The singer of What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger dropped this magically peppy Christmas song back in 2013, and since then I’ve been addicted to it. I was 13 years old at the time, and the lyrics gave me butterflies when I grew up. If you want to sing with your loved ones and spend Christmas vibrantly, you can’t say no to this song!
I’ll Be Home For Christmas – Michael Bublé
Michael Bublé is surely a time traveller, fight me! How can he sing so elegantly like those singers from the jazz club back in the 40s? Holy smokes, his vocals can turn any song romantic. That said, Michael Bublé’s I’ll be home for Christmas is just the right song to swing dance to after a late romantic dinner on Christmas eve. Once you listen to this song, you’ll find yourself swinging from left to right.
Merry Christmas Darling – Carpenters
I’m not sure how many people have heard of Carpenters, but if you haven’t, you should. I remember listening to Close to you by the Carpenters when I was a kid with my father. Since then, I’ve been in love with this band, and their Merry Christmas Darling has always been my Christmas lullaby. So soothing and so calm, the Carpenters’ songs will ease and calm your heart, uplifting your Christmas spirit. Please enjoy listening to this masterpiece as you fall in love. Thank me later.
All I Want for Christmas is You – Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey, the Queen, must be included, right? I saved this song for the last because Christmas won’t be Christmas without this woman’s high notes. This song can make everyone feel like they’re the main character in a Christmas romantic movie because it holds so much power.
Almost everybody on earth would have heard this song, and truly, it deserves it. Did you know that Mariah Carey earns more than $3 million every year because people keep streaming this song each Christmas? Yes! So shall we increase it more? Watch it below.
