This list originally ran on December 3, 2022.
Were republishing it in honor of the season.
Insert the singer of your choice and its hard to go wrong.
Here are ten that stand out in a worthy crowd.
10.Alexander ONeal (1988)
10.
There are plenty of swing versions of Wonderland to be found, but few are as jumped-up as ONeals.
Right on top is ONeal, riding that pulse-racing groove by alternately swerving and stepping on the acceleration.
9.Harry Connick, Jr. (1989)
9.
8.The Roches (1990)
8.
7.Selena Gomez & The Scene (2009)

6.Tommy Emmanuel and Annie Sellick (2016)

So what is a person who wants a flirty Christmas back-and-forth to do?
5.Doris Day (1964)
5.
Thats the one where plans are made by the fire.
4.Darlene Love (1963)
4.
Try as you might, Loves holiday gravity is simply too strong to resist.
3.Fleming And John (1997)
3.
Then the horsey clip-clops come.
2.Ella Fitzgerald (1960)
2.
The best traditional version of Winter Wonderland, perhaps obviously.
Whos going to beat Ella?
But this isnt a matter of Fitzgerald taking the trophy just by showing up.
1.Garrett Morris and the cast of Saturday Night Live (1975)
1.
UnlikeSNLholiday perennials Christmastime For the Jews or Santas My Boyfriend, theres no punchline.
Unlike I Wish It Was Christmas Today, its not played for dorky enthusiasm.
It is, simply, pure joy, with no further agenda.
Its the holiday spirit made manifest.
