Top 10 Best R&B Christmas Songs

If you’re sick of hearing the same Christmas music over and over again every year we suggest doing something about it this time. No, we’re not talking about wearing noise-canceling headphones all the time to avoid all music, but rather, creating a special playlist that only contains Christmas music from your favorite genre. In this particular article, we’re going to give you some recommendations of good R&B Christmas songs that you can add to such a playlist. If that’s not exactly your style, however, don’t worry because we’re also going to show you how to download any song from YouTube regardless of genre.

Part 1: Top 10 Best R&B Christmas Songs

Brian McKnight – The Christmas Song

Our first entry is a bit of an old-school sounding R&B song from Brian McKnight’s holiday-themed album “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” A very peaceful song for a peaceful Christmas night alongside your loved ones.

Whitney Houston – Do You Hear What I Hear?

There are many versions of this popular early 60s hit floating around out there but our favorite by far is Whitney Houston’s interpretation of the song.

The Jackson 5 – Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Back before Michael Jackson made a name for himself as a solo artist, he was performing great R&B Christmas songs along with the other members of The Jackson 5. The group even had a whole album dedicated to the holidays but Santa Claus is Coming to Town is definitely their most memorable Christmas-themed song.

Mariah Carey – Silent Night

There are popular Christmas R&B songs and then there’s Mariah Carey’s take on the classic carol Silent Night. Between this song and All I Want for Christmas is You, it’s safe to say Mariah Carey has found the perfect formula for performing memorable Christmas songs.

Kanye West – Christmas in Harlem

Harlem is a rough neighborhood even around Christmas time and Kanye West’s lyrics definitely reflect that fact. This song is targeted at teenagers and young adults so maybe skip it if you’re looking for music that you can listen with your whole family.

Stevie Wonder and Andra Day – Someday at Christmas

Despite being one of the oldest R&B Christmas songs on this list, Someday at Christmas aged very well and is just as enjoyable today as it was back in 1967 when it was first released.

Whitney Houston – One Wish (For Christmas)

We usually try to limit ourselves to one entry per artist but in the case of Whitney Houston, we just can’t help ourselves because she has so many great R&B Christmas songs. If you like the late artist’s holiday songs, make sure to also check out Who Would Imagine and King and her version of Joy to the World.

Faith Evans – O Come All Ye Faithful

Like most artists on this list, Faith Evans also has an entire album dedicated to Christmas and it’s a bit hard to pick our favorite from that album. However, if we were to choose just one, we’d probably have to go with O Come All Ye Faithful.

K. Michelle – Christmas Night

R&B Christmas songs are usually all about spreading joy and happiness but for a lot of people, holidays can actually be a bit depressing. If you’re feeling down this Christmas don’t worry, you’re not the only one, but hopefully K. Michelle’s emotional song Christmas Night will make you feel a bit better.

Boyz II Men – Let it Snow

Boyz II Men’s Let it Snow was extremely popular back in the 90s but you can still hear it at Christmas parties even today from time to time. Who knows, maybe this year you’ll be the one asking the DJ to play it.
