12 Timeless Christmas Songs Turned Modern To Jingle All The Way Home This Holiday

Brooke Smith

Christmas may look different this year, but we can all still appreciate the joy that is music. Christmas Carols make the winter that much better and can help us all get in the holiday spirit, despite the struggles that this year has brought everyone.

There are a ton of different Christmas Carols that are timeless classics, but thankfully, there are also different versions of each classic that changes with the times. I researched and collected all of them into one list to get the holiday season started off in modern style.

1. All I Want for Christmas Is You by Fifth Harmony

Mariah Carey's Christmas hit is timeless on its own, but the notes and melody of this rendition is perfect to add to anyone's updated Christmas playlist.

2. Baby It's Cold Outside by Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé

An adorable music video and a timeless and modern duet, what more could anybody ask for?

3. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by Pentatonix

A great acapella rendition of a classic Christmas carol

4. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) by Michael Bublé

His Christmas album is my all-time favorite modern Christmas album, and this rendition truly makes me feel warm inside even on the coldest winter days.

5. Winter Wonderland / Here Comes Santa Claus by Snoop Dogg x Anna Kendrick

TikTok has been taking this song by storm and there even is a TikTok dance to this collaboration that we all needed.

6. Last Christmas by Ariana Grande

A more upbeat remix with lots of drums in this carol originally made famous by Wham!

7. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by Sam Smith

They truly have the sweetest voice to make any Christmas melody that much smoother.

8. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Justin Bieber

Fetus Justin Bieber covers Santa Claus is Coming to Town for the animated Christmas film, Arthur Christmas.

9. Jingle Bell Rock by Glee

The Glee Cast even has their own Christmas album with multiple modern Christmas classics.

10. Carol of the Bells by Lindsey Stirling

This electric violin cover definitely spices up this timeless Christmas classic.

11. Feliz Navidad by Kacey Musgraves

A country version of the classic Spanish Christmas carol that everyone can love.

12. Santa Baby by Summer Walker, Love Renaissance

An R&B modern version to this sexy Christmas Carol.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
