Kanye West's 'My Beautiful Dark Fantasy' is arguably the best album of 2010 -- but the rapper wasn't done just yet.
His latest work -- 'Christmas in Harlem' -- is quickly becoming one of our favorite holiday tunes. Listen to it below. [Warning: Mature Content]
What are our favorites from Yuletides past? Check them out inside >>>
2. Jackson 5 -- 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town'
Hearing a young Michael Jackson belt this sweet song out definitely gets us in the spirit.
3. *NSYNC -- 'O Holy Night'
Justin Timberlake is so hot right now -- we just want to remind you where he came from. And don't forget the others!
4. Bing Crosby and David Bowie -- 'Little Drummer Boy / Peace on Earth'
The odd Crosby-Bowie duet works on a level that we don't try to understand. We just go with it. (For additional awesomeness, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly recreate this in all its glory.)
5. Paul McCartney and Wings -- 'Wonderful Christmastime'
You may hear a lot of critics who hate this choice, but whatever -- McCartney's great and this is on our Christmas playlist.
6. John Lennon and Yoko Ono -- 'Happy Christmas (War Is Over)'
You can't have McCartney without Lennon. Yoko is just a bonus.
7. The Kinks -- 'Father Christmas'
When they're not singing about Lola, The Kinks give us Father Christmas. And that's pretty cool.
8. Twisted Sister -- 'O Come All Ye Faithful'
We think it's cool that 'Faithful' shares chords with 'We're Not Gonna Take It,' making for one awesomely metal rendition.
9. Zooey Deschanel and Will Ferrell -- 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'
We're currently obsessed with Ms. Deschanel. (Seriously, did you hear her She & Him rendition of 'I Put a Spell on You' on 'Conan'? You haven't? Merry Christmas.) And after watching 'Elf,' we knew this belonged with other classics.
10. Mariah Carey -- 'All I Want for Christmas (Is You)'
It's not Christmas without Mariah's 1994 hit. Duh.
11. Sufjan Stevens -- 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel'
Maybe not technically a pop song, but it's amazing. Listen, please.
Your list is of the WORST not the best Christmas Songs....Who are you trying to pander to? Give me Jingle Bells and White Christmas over the trash you call music. Merry Christmas
In the Detroit Newpapers you will find a picture of Sally White sitting under the xmas tree with 2 front teeth from her aunt. Taken the xams the song came out All I Want For Xmas Is My 2 Front Teeth. Sorry Sally i know you tried to live that down.
Kayne west is a joke, his actions are a joke and his "music" is even worse, you can all like what you want, but he is a hot mess lol, just because you make a ton of money, doesnt mean youre good, it just means you are marketable..... as Far as Rap "music" everything has its place , but speaking to music on beat or not isnt for everyone, no vocals needed you just need to talk, hey so that means William Schatner is the best rapper in the land haha I cant believe Kayne is even on this list at all, big miss on this one guys
Wow, I never heard "Christmas in Harlem" before (not a rap fan at all) and I must say, its not something I would even want to play a second time....sorry. Its amazing to me that this "song"?? would be placed above Lennon's Happy Christmas (War is Over). Now that's a great song!!
Merry Xmas to all, Happy, healthy New Year 2!! Perhaps 2011 will bring better relations for all. Anyway, just want 2 say, keep Jackson 5 alive, Jackson dynasty for life. Love and prayers for Jackson family. Love U. Always will remember KOP. Miss U Michael Jackson, love U eternally.
Jordan you need to go back and read that again... because as I am about to copy and paste what they led off with....and here it is...Kanye's 'Christmas in Harlem' Is PopEater's Favorite Holiday Song so looks like you were wrong just as the song is...

This is the single worst "best Christmas songs" list I have ever seen, hands down. Whatever you all are drinking, I want none of it.

I KNOW THAT MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG IS NOT GOING TO BE ONE WITH A "MATURE CONTENT" LABEL!

How could you not include "The Twelve Days of Christmas" by Straight No Chaser?

By the way, the best rapping Christmas song is "Christmas in Hollis" by RUN-DMC
