Irish posted about hearing Holiday music on the radio.
Driving I had to scan to find it...Found some Holiday music on The World Cafe.
When I came home I did a search for "The Little Drummer Boy"
and found this version...sharing it with you.

The USAF Band Holiday Flash Mob at the National Air and Space Mu
This has always been my all time favorite song. Usually, Kathy Mattea does my favorite version, but I have really enjoyed the deep voice of Scotty McCreery on it.

For the classical, baroque music lovers. An extraordinary piece to sing actually.
Had to add one more favorite, those some may say is not a "holiday" song, depends on one's perspective ;)
Beautiful version of The Lord's Prayer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxX-F6BcdS8
And just for fun, listen to lyrics carefully ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VC5-bZjwTU
(The Twelve Days AFTER Christmas)
Our Choral Society (which I was a part of) used to perform Handel's Messiah eery Christmas. It is one of my favorites too.
Other favorites are:
