Christmas 2024 is well and truly upon us! And it's fair to say that when it comes to the festive season, there is nothing like a bit of Michael Bublé - AKA the King of Christmas - to get you feeling festive!

As the 'defrosting Bublé' memes start to fill our news feeds again, what better way to enter the festive season than taking a look through some of his top Christmas songs from over the years?! Here are our top Christmas hits from our favourite silky-smooth singer, to help you with those festive playlists...

1) 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)'

This uplifting classic was originally sung by Darlene Love in 1963, but Bublé's version has quickly become one of his most well-known festive hits.

2) 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas'

Perry Como covered this Meredith Wilson track in 1951, bringing it into the spotlight as one of the most successful Christmas songs of all time. And our favourite Canadian does a pretty good job of it, too...

3) 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'

Fun fact: this is the third most performed Christmas song of all time! As well as Michael's silky version of the track, Frank Sinatra and Sam Smith have also released successful covers.

4) 'White Christmas'

Forget the third most performed Christmas song of all time – the Bing Crosby version of 'White Christmas' is the best-selling single OF ALL TIME. An estimated 100 million copies of the song have been sold worldwide. Wowzers. This beautiful version was released as a single with Shania Twain.

Michael's team also had a stunning animated music video made! Take a look below:

5) 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'

This never gets old – and who would believe that 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town' is one of the oldest festive tracks here, with the first recording taking place in October 1934!

6) 'Cold December Night'

This beautiful Christmas song is a Bublé original, and one of our absolute favourites from the album. It was written with his longtime co-writer Alan Chang and producer Bob Rock, and cements Bublé's reputation as a songwriter, as well as a successful singer.

7) 'Holly Jolly Christmas'

Another classic, Michael's 'Holly Jolly Christmas' has become a staple for the festive season. The song was first released by Burl Ives back in 1964, before Michael gave it the Bublé touch in 2011.

You can hear Michael Bublé's Christmas songs on the Downtown Radio playlist!
