In terms of classic Christmas songs, White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby is hard to beat!

The Wexford Carol
A couple of years ago a friend recommended that I listen to The Wexford Carol performed by Yo-Yo Ma and Alison Krauss. It’s become one of my favorites!

A Christmas Medley
A Christmas Medley by the North Point Community Church iBand is a very creative use of technology. It’s a lot of fun to watch!

This Little Babe
This Little Babe, from Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols, is a lesser-known Christmas song. This performance is by the Maîtrise de Radio France. Their French accent adds a bit of charm. If you’re not familiar with this piece, the echo effect is actually antiphonal singing, not a real echo. This is the best recording I’ve been able to find, and it still doesn’t do justice to the musical power of this piece.

Angels We Have Heard on High
The Piano Guys are an incredibly creative group as seen in their version of Angels We Have Heard on High. The music starts at 0:35.

Carol of the Bells
The a capella group Pentatonix won the 3rd season of The Sing-Off, which launched their career. Their version of Carol of the Bells is one of my favorites.
