Now is the perfect time to swap your usual nursery rhymes for some Christmas songs for kids they will love. In between putting up decorations, telling cringey cracker jokes, watching family Christmas films, doing a spot of festive baking and taking photos for personalised cards, you might want to put some sing-a-long tunes on in the background that the kids will love.
And as if you needed another reason to get the karaoke going, learning and recalling the lyrics to songs is a great cognitive exercise for children to improve their memory and brain function.
So, here's our pick of the best Christmas songs for kids to get the whole family in the festive spirit!
1. When Santa got stuck up the chimney
2. I'm a little snowman
3. Jingle bells
4. Santa shark
5. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
6. We wish you a Merry Christmas
7. Rudolf the red nosed reindeer
8. 12 days of Christmas
9. Frosty the snowman
10. Away in a manger
