Top 10 Most Annoying Christmas Songs

Whether they're overplayed or just completely unlistenable, these are the Christmas jingles that make us want to change the station at the first chance we get.

The Top Ten

  1. Wonderful Christmastime

    One of the worst Christmas songs of all time if you ask me. That synth is unbearable, and it's just all around bad and unlistenable. I don't know how anyone can listen to this mess and not feel irritated. Paul McCartney might be a talented musician, but this is just an absolute trainwreck of a song that should have been left in the past and forgotten.

    This song is terrible. The synth is terrible. It never builds or does anything exciting. It just keeps that same boring melody. Not only that, but this song is just greedy. The only reason it exists is that Paul McCartney wanted to make a song but not have to share any money with all the Beatles members. So much for the season of giving!

  2. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

    An annoying novelty song that pretty much no one likes. It tries to be humorous, but it falls flat on its face in that attempt, and it's all around just unpleasant to listen to. I'd be perfectly fine if I never heard this song again, but knowing how the Christmas stations are, I'll likely have to hear it a thousand times more.

    It's not *that* bad. The lyrics are enjoyable if you're into dark comedy. If you're not, you can ignore the lyrics in favor of the somewhat pleasant music. Musically, many Christmas songs are a lot more grating than this one.

  3. The Chipmunk Song

    This one is horrible! The worst Christmas song I have ever heard. So annoying and weird. It doesn't make any sense, and I want to sink through the floor when I hear it!

    As bad as Alvin and the Chipmunks is, it's undeniably nostalgic.

    It's the Chipmunks. What more needs to be said?

  4. All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth

    This is one of those songs that's fine when you're a kid, but it's probably the last thing you want to listen to as an adult.

    This song brings me back. I used to sing it in elementary school at carol night.

    This was funny for children, but for adults, it's annoying and stupid.

  5. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

    Same as "My Two Front Teeth." It's alright when you're a kid, but it's not something I want playing on the radio all season long.

    I hadn't even heard of this song until just a few years back. It's definitely annoying!

    Ugh, this vocalist has a grating voice.

  6. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

    Does anyone even like this song? 'Cause I've yet to find one person who does. It's a song about a child catching his mother in an act of adultery - what more needs to be said? I always change the station when it comes on.

    Even if it's the dad dressed up as Santa Claus, it's still grating to listen to.

    I really hope that's his dad dressed up as Santa.

  7. Santa Baby

    I've never liked this song. It comes off as creepy, and it's just not what I want to hear during the Christmas season. It can be decent depending on who is singing it, but overall, it's one of my least favorites.

  8. All I Want for Christmas Is You

    This should be number one. This is the most annoying and worst Christmas song ever.

  9. Jingle Bells

    Probably the most overplayed Christmas song of all time. It's not bad, but after the billionth time hearing it, it just becomes irritating.

    Gummibär is way past his prime. His design reeks of outdated CGI from a bygone era of the internet.

  10. Last Christmas

    Voted because ARIANA GRANDE made a cover of it and it has even overtaken the original in ubiquity, as if HER version is any better. Her having starred in a pair of overrated films over the last two years didn't help.

    I hate to offend anyone who likes this song, but this is one of the worst songs of all time. Every time I hear the song's lousy 80's synthesizer beginning, I tense up and want to bang my head into a wall, and my blood boils once George Michael starts singing. Seriously, I cannot stand this song!

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Christmas Shoes

    This kid's mother is DYING. A fact the narrator's kindness and reflection does NOT override.

  12. ?

    Feliz Navidad

    13. The Contenders

  13. The Twelve Days of Christmas

    A classic, but it's very repetitive and gets old really quick.

  14. Fairytale of New York

    It starts off bland, but most of it is annoying - especially the grating call-and-response parts. Also, it's about *youthful hopes crushed by alcoholism and drug addiction*. Nevertheless, it's often considered the best Christmas song of all time. I cannot fathom why. It doesn't help that its popularity leads to it being overplayed.

  15. Jingle Bell Rock

    It's a good song, but when it's December, you have to hear it a million times in a row!

    What? This song is actually fairly pleasant.

  16. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

  17. Grandpa's Gonna Sue the Pants Off Santa

    I'm fairly certain that this is written and sung by the same guys who did "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." What's with these guys and elderly people?

    Was this by the guy who wrote Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer?

  18. Baby, It's Cold Outside

    It's hilarious how the modern cover is on here. Censorship is indeed annoying, way more annoying than talking chipmunks (albeit probably can't beat the annoyingness of Mariah Carey).

  19. Mistletoe

  20. Christmas Is Creepy

  21. Mary, Did You Know?

  22. We Wish You a Merry Christmas

    Way too repetitive, and the nagging about figgy pudding is stupid and annoying.

  23. Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town

  24. A Holly Jolly Christmas

  25. Where Did My Snowman Go

    The yelling children are super annoying and present for most of the song. They tried to make the narrator's stupidity adorable but failed miserably. I just wanted to grab her and scream, "YOUR SNOWMAN MELTED, YOU MORON!"

  26. Litmas

  27. We Wish You a Caillou Christmas
