I know the Mariah Carey song is hated because its overused, but its also objectively a well produced piece of pop music.
My favorite though is O Holy Night. Performed well I want to stop and listen to it. It moves me, and I dont give enough of a fuck about religion to call myself an athiest.
I love any Xmas song covered by pentatonix (and there are a ton!), which is a cappella.
Here’s just one album of Xmas music, to get your rabbit hole going! They are so so amazing.

But mostly Xmas shit turns into earworms for me in the middle of summer, so I close all the blinds and watch Xmas movies. Makes it almost possible to forget it’s a billion degrees out.
Angelic voices.
And now it’s time for you to watch sound of silence. This song gives me frisson (static in the neck, aka “aesthetic chills”) every time I hear it, especially this rendition.

Fantastic!
