1. *NSYNC’s “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.” This toe tapper sure puts one in the holiday spirit.

2. Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.” Even better in “Love Actually.”

3. Bruce Springsteen’s “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” Makes you want to belt along with the Boss.

4. Beach Boys’ “Little Saint Nick.” This 1963 single hit number three on the Christmas charts.

5. Hanson’s “Silent Night Medley.” A more soulful feel on their 1997 “Snowed In” album.
