1990s Western Christmas songs: from massive hits to hidden gems (61–70)
Baby, It’s Cold OutsideVanessa Williams & Bobby Caldwell
Vanessa Williams and Bobby Caldwell have covered the classic Christmas duet “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” The original was written in 1944, and since it was featured in the 1949 film Neptune’s Daughter, it has been known as a hugely popular duet.
The playful back-and-forth between the man and woman is so pleasing to the ear.
In this version in particular, Vanessa’s and Bobby’s voices blend beautifully.
Mistrass For ChristmassAC/DC
Actually, AC/DC quietly made a straightforward Christmas song as well.
This track is from their 1990 album The Razors Edge.
It’s also well known because Thunder, often hailed as a titan of British rock, uses “Thunderstruck” as their live opening theme.
From the very intro, chimes ring out, heightening the Christmas mood.
Please come home for ChristmasJon Bon Jovi
Both the song’s tone and the music video have an ultra-sweet vibe that’s almost embarrassing to watch, and when it’s pushed this far, there’s nothing left to say.
“Christmas for Just the Two of Us” is a spot-on title.
Originally, it was a track credited to Jon Bon Jovi, contributed to the 1992 compilation Christmas Aid 2.
Assassination on Xmas EveArchers of Loaf
How about a Christmas song that’s not just romantic and fun, but a little mysterious too? It’s a piece with the rather ominous title “Christmas Killer” by Archers of Loaf, but the rough, grit-filled sound brimming with punk rock spirit makes for an interesting mismatch with the Christmas vibe.
If you like twin guitars, definitely give it a listen!

Their Christmas song released in ’98 appeared on the Billboard charts in ’99 and became a hit.
