Perfect to put on while you are decorating the tree or catching up with friends, or for something a little more formal such as a Christmas drinks reception, these Christmas jazz songs are suitable for every occasion! Ranging from old-school favourites such as Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong to modern day jazz newcomers such as Michael Bubl\u00e9 and Norah Jones, this list of top jazz Christmas songs will leave you feeling festive and mellow &#8211; no matter how hectic the Christmas period gets.<\/p>\n<p><br   \/><\/p>\n<h2>1. Frosty The Snowman &#8211; Ella Fitzgerald<\/h2>\n<p>The album &#8216;Ella Wishes You A Swinging Christmas&#8217; was released in 1960 and featured 12 classic Christmas songs. &#8216;Frosty The Snowman&#8217; is the fifth song on the second side of the album and is a much-loved favourite. Originally written by Walter Rollins and Steve Nelson in 1950, the song has had hundreds of covers recorded and released in its time by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entertainment-nation.co.uk\/all-bands?cat=bands&#038;sub_cat=jazz-big-band-swing-and-blues-bands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jazz bands<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entertainment-nation.co.uk\/all-bands?cat=solo-and-duo&#038;sub_cat=singers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">solo singers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entertainment-nation.co.uk\/all-bands?cat=bands&#038;sub_cat=soul-funk-disco-and-motown-bands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Motown artists<\/a> &#8211; the list is endless! This jazzy version by Ella Fitzgerald is definitely one of our favourite versions on the song.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hmw4Fu4XupE?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>2. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas &#8211; Frank Sinatra<\/h2>\n<p>An all-time Christmas favourite, &#8216;Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas&#8217; is the kind of song that warms your heart when you hear it for the first time in December. Frank Sinatra released his version with adjusted lyrics in 1948, with the original recording being by Judy Garland in 1944. Originally for the musical Meet Me In St. Louis, this song is now a Christmas staple that we couldn&#8217;t imagine the festive season without.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/D2G7AdAisfA\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D2G7AdAisfA?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>3. Merry Christmas Baby &#8211; Etta James<\/h2>\n<p>Etta James released &#8216;Merry Christmas Baby&#8217; on her holiday album &#8217;12 Songs of Christmas&#8217; in 1998. This jazzy blues album features James singing some of the most popular Christmas songs with the smooth accompaniment of keys, trombone and saxophone. The song itself dates back to 1947 when it was first recorded by Johnny Moore&#8217;s Three Blazers. Since then, it&#8217;s been covered by anyone who&#8217;s anyone in the world of music, from Otis Redding, Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry to John Legend, Christina Aguilera and HANSON!<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/_CVFbBesL14\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_CVFbBesL14?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>4. The Christmas Song &#8211; Nat King Cole<\/h2>\n<p>It has been reported that &#8216;The Christmas Song&#8217; was written in the middle of summer by Bob Wells and Mel Torm\u00e9 as they tried to think of ways they could stave off the blistering heat. The songwriters theorised that by visualising the icy chill of winter, they could fool themselves into feeling cool. After 40 minutes of inspiration, one of the greatest Christmas songs of all was born. It makes us feel us cozy and warm &#8211; so the opposite of the intended effect, but who cares; this song IS Christmas.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/hwacxSnc4tI\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hwacxSnc4tI?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br   \/><\/p>\n<h2>5. Those Soulful Jingle Bells &#8211; Mark Whitfield<\/h2>\n<p>Mark Whitfield is a popular American jazz guitarist from New York. He has been the bandleader for Warner Bros Records and Verve record label, working with many prominent and legendary jazz performers. This soulful version of jingle bells is an excellent alternative to more traditional (and sometimes slightly childish) versions of the song.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/8iE1Dhgy1ek\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8iE1Dhgy1ek?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>6. Count Your Blessings &#8211; Barry Manilow<\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;In The Swing Of Christmas&#8217; by Barry Manilow was released in 2007 and was the singer&#8217;s third Christmas album. &#8216;Count Your Blessings&#8217; features on this album and was written by Irving Berlin for the movie White Christmas. As a result of this, it is usually played at Christmas time, even though there are no lyrics in the song that actually refer to any festive activities or December or Christmas. However, it&#8217;s still a captivating, slow jazzy song that fits nicely into this playlist.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hbQy4SfuFRQ?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>7. Wintertime &#8211; Norah Jones<\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;Wintertime&#8217; is a seasonal, slow blues song by Norah Jones which was released earlier this year. It&#8217;s instantly recognisable as being sung by Jones, with its opening chords bringing the song &#8216;Turn Me On&#8217; to mind. Jones had been named the top jazz artist of the 2000-2009 decade by Billboard and has sold over 50 million records worldwide. With a jazz title as prominent as that she had to appear on our jazz Christmas list, (and she might be making a couple more appearances too!)<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/gwwfEgF2lmU\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gwwfEgF2lmU?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>8. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town &#8211; Michael Bubl\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p>While Michael Bubl\u00e9 has songs that can be played all year round, he seems to magically appear in everyone&#8217;s lives at Christmas. This is because he is incredibly well known for his Christmas album, Christmas, which was released in 2011. This jazz and swing album features an array of popular festive hits, including &#8216;Santa Claus Is Coming To Town&#8217;. We love this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entertainment-nation.co.uk\/all-bands?cat=bands&#038;sub_cat=big-bands-and-rat-pack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">big band<\/a> version of the song, along with the rest of his album, and all his other work as well. Basically, we just really love Michael Bubl\u00e9.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/1OPBlCUWWEI\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1OPBlCUWWEI?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br   \/><\/p>\n<h2>9. Little Jack Frost Get Lost &#8211; Seth MacFarlane and Norah Jones<\/h2>\n<p>Seth MacFarlane and Norah Jones recorded &#8216;Little Jack Frost Get Lost&#8217; for the album &#8216;Holiday For Swing&#8217;. Featuring a 65-piece orchestra and big band and swing renditions of some lesser-known Christmas songs, this album is a great choice if you want a break from the more overplayed Christmas hits. &#8216;Little Jack Frost Get Lost&#8217; is a short song, only running for 2 minutes and 34 seconds, with the jazzy melodies and charming vocals making it incredibly catchy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ItvKWLdD0F8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>10. Baby, It&#8217;s Cold Outside &#8211; Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan<\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;Baby It&#8217;s Cold Outside&#8217; was written in 1944 by Frank Loesser. This is another one of those &#8220;Christmas&#8221; songs where there aren&#8217;t actually any mentions of the holiday, but it does have a winter theme. It was originally written for Hollywood parties in the 1940s. Back in those days, big stars were expected to perform at any party they attended. Loesser and his wife performed the song at the end of the night, indicating to guests it was time to leave. So basically, the song is a polite way of telling everyone to go home. Ella Fitzgerald recorded her version of the song in 1949 with Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CUJfJ9_NzvA?si=F5OAYpJ0vw1B807S?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>11. &#8216;Zat You, Santa Claus? &#8211; Louis Armstrong<\/h2>\n<p>\u2018Zat You, Santa Claus?&#8217; was recorded by Louis Armstrong with The Commanders in 1953. The song has a somewhat sinister feel to it and gives us vibes of A Nightmare Before Christmas which was released in 1994. With a sharp trumpet and a tempo that makes you feel like someone is sneaking around, this is one of the more unusual and less festive Christmas songs on our list.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/YC90828TpA8\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YC90828TpA8?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>12. A Marshmallow World &#8211; Seth MacFarlane<\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;A Marshmallow World&#8217; was first a success for Bing Crosby but has since had multiple covers released. This version by Seth MacFarlane features on his previously mentioned album, &#8216;Holiday For Swing&#8217;. The lyrics describe a dreamy winter wonderland landscape covered in snow, something we all wish for at Christmas. We love this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entertainment-nation.co.uk\/all-bands?cat=bands&#038;sub_cat=swing-bands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">swing band<\/a> version with its smooth vocals and upbeat tempo.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/PJTPH2IY4ts\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PJTPH2IY4ts?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br   \/><\/p>\n<h2>13. Holly Jolly Christmas &#8211; Michael Bubl\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p>Another Michael Bubl\u00e9 hit, &#8216;Holly Jolly Christmas&#8217; is an upbeat version of the popular song which features a soulful guitar solo in the middle. The original version featured on the Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer soundtrack in 1964 and was sung by Burl Ives.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/GJfmTodTdg8\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GJfmTodTdg8?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>14. White Christmas &#8211; Bing Crosby<\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;White Christmas&#8217; was released by Bing Crosby on his 1945 Christmas album, Merry Christmas. This song is often considered to be his signature number and is one of the best-selling songs of all time, with over 50 million copies being bought worldwide. Originally written by Irving Berlin in 1942, the song describes an old-fashion, traditional Christmas and everything perfect about it. Crosby&#8217;s version of the song has been ranked second on a list of &#8216;Songs Of The Century,&#8217; being beaten by Judy Garland&#8217;s Over The Rainbow for the top spot.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/_3ZC45Q82pg\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_3ZC45Q82pg?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>15. Christmas In New Orleans &#8211; Louis Armstrong and Benny Carter<\/h2>\n<p>We believe this is one of the finest jazz Christmas songs out there. &#8216;Christmas In New Orleans&#8217; was written by Joseph Van Winkle and Richard Sherman and released by Louis Armstrong in 1955. The song takes you on a jazz journey, from quieter moments of just vocals and keys to the impact of a full horn section and vibrant harmonies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2mOir6MPSGw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>16. It&#8217;s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year &#8211; Andy Williams<\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year&#8217; is one of the most beloved Christmas songs of all time. Written in triple time (an uncommon feature for jazz, we know) this song may slightly push our swing, jazz, blues theme, but it had to appear on here at some point! The song was released by Andy Williams in 1963 for his first Christmas album. The song is a celebration of Christmas and all the activities and events that come along with it, focusing mainly on coming together with family and friends.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/SFGC_YgeQ5w\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SFGC_YgeQ5w?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br   \/><\/p>\n<h2>17. I&#8217;ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm &#8211; Frank Sinatra<\/h2>\n<p>Frank Sinatra has to be played at Christmas time, and with multiple albums and compilations of his festive songs around today you will be spoilt for choice! &#8216;I&#8217;ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm&#8217; was written by Irvin Berlin in 1937 for the musical film &#8216;On The Avenue&#8217;. This heart-warming song oozes festive vibes and is Christmas song that isn\u2019t overplayed on the radios and in every shop you go into over the festive season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/ebmUpTCtJXE\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ebmUpTCtJXE?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>18. Christmas Time Is Here &#8211; Barry Manilow<\/h2>\n<p>Another slower Christmas song, &#8216;Christmas Time Is Here&#8217; by Barry Manilow is smooth, classy and makes for easy listening. The song was originally written in 1965 for the Charlie Brown Christmas TV Special. It became a hit and had two official versions released, before being covered first by jazz guitarist Ron Eschet\u00e9. 25 years later, this swing version was released by Manilow, which followed Eschet\u00e9\u2019s slow and soft vibe for the song.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/j6mPI9LR710\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j6mPI9LR710?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>19. I&#8217;ll Be Home For Christmas &#8211; Stephen Scott<\/h2>\n<p>This jazzy version of &#8216;I&#8217;ll Be Home For Christmas&#8221; is from Verve Records&#8217; album &#8216;Let It Swing: A Jazz Christmas With Verve&#8217;. Stephen Scott is an accomplished jazz pianist who performs this song wonderfully on the keys, with it being unrecognisable in parts due to the free-styling and dramatic twists and turns the song takes. This lively rendition would fit in perfectly at any Christmas drinks reception or get together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/IzWuTxopxKs\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IzWuTxopxKs?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>20. Silver Bells &#8211; Tony Bennett<\/h2>\n<p>Tony Bennett is a big band, jazz and traditional pop standards singer from America. &#8216;Silver Bells&#8217; appears on the album &#8216;A Swingin&#8217; Christmas&#8217; which features Bennett singing with the Count Basie Big Band. The album received a Grammy Award nomination and has become a Christmas favourite for many. &#8216;Silver Bells&#8217; is another one of those incredibly popular festive hits that has hundreds of covers by different artists. We love this swing version by Bennett, with its dreamy keys and mellow base.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/XMcTQveNdnw\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XMcTQveNdnw?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br   \/><\/p>\n<h2>21. Peace &#8211; Norah Jones<\/h2>\n<p>Next we have another Norah Jones song. &#8216;Peace&#8217; is a composition by Horace Silver from 1959 and has become a jazz standard. Jones released her version of the song in 2001 and then again in 2016. This is a slow and peaceful jazz song, with stunning melodies and harmonies, which Jones performs beautifully.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/fiY5QGpP2QQ\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fiY5QGpP2QQ?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>22. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer &#8211; Ella Fitzgerald<\/h2>\n<p>This is Ella Fitzgerald&#8217;s third appearance on this list, and with her being the queen of jazz there really is no question why! This version of &#8216;Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer&#8217; is simple yet sophisticated. The original version of the song was released in 1949 and was based on the 1939 story of the same name. Other famous covers of this song beside Ella Fitzgerald\u2019s are by Bing Crosby, Burl Ives and Alvin and the Chipmunks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gl1-tx5I2TU?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>23. Jingle Bells &#8211; Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters<\/h2>\n<p>We couldn&#8217;t leave this iconic collaboration out of our playlist. Bing Crosby released his version of &#8216;Jingle Bells&#8217; with The Andrews Sisters in 1945 on his Christmas compilation, Merry Christmas. The album has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and is the second best-selling Christmas album of all time. Elvis Presley holds the top spot with Elvis&#8217; Christmas Album. &#8216;Jingle Bells&#8217; is one of the most commonly sung songs around the world today and was the first song to be broadcast from space &#8211; there is a random and really useless fact for you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/7pgwu9Pyy9c\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7pgwu9Pyy9c?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>24. Cool Yule &#8211; Louis Armstrong<\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;Cool Yule&#8217; is another song by Louis Armstrong and The Commanders. Definitely less unnerving than &#8216;Zat You, Santa Claus?&#8217;, this song is a loud and groovy jazz Christmas tune that you could easily dance along to. With Armstrong&#8217;s iconic vocals and the trumpet section leading the way through the song, this is a classic Christmas jazz hit that we think should be played more often!<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mAGLWwRxoy4?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>25. Blue Christmas &#8211; Michael Bubl\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p>There are so many great versions of the song &#8216;Blue Christmas.&#8217; This rhythm and blues song has become a staple Christmas song, even though the lyrics aren&#8217;t the happiest. While the Elvis Presley version is definitely up there as being one of the best, when it comes to jazz Christmas music Michael Bubl\u00e9 takes the top spot for us. We love the passion and enthusiasm he puts into his performance, along with the energy radiating from the musicians and backing singers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/EJsDeLdLFY0\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EJsDeLdLFY0?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br   \/><\/p>\n<h2>26. Run Rudolph Run &#8211; Chuck Berry<\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;Run Rudolph Run&#8217; is a rock n roll classic, but it is a 12-bar blues song as well which means we can justify featuring it on this playlist! It fits so perfectly alongside all these other songs that we had to include it, and its upbeat tempo means it\u2019s another song you can dance too when you get a little merry. The most famous version of this song was released by Chucky Berry in 1958, with celebrities including Cee Lo Green, Kelly Clarkson and Billy Idol all having covered the song.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/l849CulLhGQ\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l849CulLhGQ?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>27. Let It Snow &#8211; Michael Bolton<\/h2>\n<p>Michael Bolton is an American singer-songwriter who performed hard rock and heavy metal music at the start of his career. He then moved onto the pop-rock ballads for which he is most famous, followed by swing music later on in his life. A Swinging Christmas was released in 2007 and featured 10 Christmas swing songs, including &#8216;Let It Snow.\u2019 The lyrics are about being cosy and content at home whilst it\u2019s snowing and cold outside. It has a romantic vibe to it, describing a tender and passionate winter romance blossoming by the fire.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/gJOsFr_D9LQ\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gJOsFr_D9LQ?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>28.

All the lyrics revolve around how Christmas won&#8217;t start till a certain loved one is home: &#8220;The sleigh bells won\u2019t ring, Bing Crosby won\u2019t sing, it\u2019s not Christmas till you come home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/QnJ7g9mRyZg\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QnJ7g9mRyZg?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br  \/> <\/p>\n<h2>29.

Originally written for Frank Sinatra in 1954 after he insisted he wanted a Christmas song, it has been covered by numerous artists including Bing Crosby, Barry Manilow, John Travolta, Susan Boyle and of course, Tony Bennett. It could be considered to be the first Christmas waltz and has beautiful lyrics about all the wonderful things found at Christmas time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video__youtube\" data-youtube><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/JXVh-wwiwNg\/mqdefault.jpg\" class=\"video__placeholder\" \/><button class=\"video__button\" data-youtube-button=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JXVh-wwiwNg?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br   \/><\/p>\n<p>We hope this jazz, blues and swing Christmas song list gives you lots of inspiration for your festive playlists. Perfect for every occasion, whether that&#8217;s a cosy night in wrapping presents or an elegant festive drinks reception, you can easily add a touch of class to your evening with these songs. Jazz music is a great alternative to more commonly played (and overplayed) Christmas songs. After all, with a whole month (and the rest) of Christmas tunes being played nearly everywhere you go, you are going to want some variation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entertainment-nation.co.uk\/all-bands?cat=bands&#038;sub_cat=jazz-big-band-swing-and-blues-bands\" style=\"color:#ffffff;border-radius:13px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">FIND A JAZZ AND SWING BAND!<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This compilation of our favourite jazz and swing Christmas songs will add a touch of class to your festivities!
