Welcome to Christmas
If you’re looking for something to play for a Disney-loving child, try “Welcome to Christmas,” one of the Christmas songs used in shows at Tokyo DisneySea.
Just listening to it transports you into Disney’s enchanting, beautiful world, and it makes Christmas with your loved ones all the more special.
The most famous version is sung by Kaho Shimada, played at the end of “Candlelight Reflections.” Be sure to give it a listen!
Wish Upon a StarSakkyoku: Rī Hārain
This famous song, When You Wish Upon a Star, was sung by Jiminy Cricket as the theme song for Disney’s film Pinocchio.
While it isn’t a Christmas song, it’s a Disney tune you’ll want to hear on Christmas night! Its richly atmospheric sound and lyrics resonate with a parent’s heart, aligning with the feelings of children eagerly awaiting Christmas.
It’s sure to make the holiday even more magical!
All I Want For Christmas Is YouKimetsu no Yaiba MMD
This is a fan-made MMD video where characters from the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba sing and dance to classic Christmas songs.
Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the Hashira appear one after another, and the choral staging—like weaving a harmony—is dazzling.
The Christmas-themed backdrops, such as snowy landscapes and illuminations, along with the inventive camera work, make it a joy to watch.
Released on platforms like YouTube, it’s highly praised by fans as a video that lets you feel both love for the characters and the festive holiday spirit at the same time.
It’s perfect for gatherings of kids who love Demon Slayer or for family karaoke time.
If you sing while channeling your favorite character, it’s sure to be a hit!
Frosty the SnowmanSakkyoku: Uorutā “Jakku” Rorinzu, Sutīvu Neruson
When the Christmas season comes around, isn’t this one of those songs you hear everywhere? It’s often performed with the piano taking the lead, and its catchy rhythm conveys a joyful atmosphere.
The story follows a snowman named Frosty who is brought to life, plays with children, and eventually sets off on a journey far away.
There is also a Japanese title, “Kaze mo Yuki mo Tomodachi da” (“The Wind and Snow Are Our Friends”), which depicts children enjoying the snowy weather.
It seems like a fun piece where you could even compare and sing the two versions with their different narratives.
Happy Happy ChristmasBeibī Shāku to Pinkittsu
This Christmas song, sung by a beloved character adored by children around the world, was released on YouTube in November 2020 and was included in the December 2021 album “Pinkfong Baby Shark Special.” The lyrics convey the joy of eagerly awaiting Christmas and a warm message encouraging everyone to sing and have fun together.
With its bright, lighthearted melody and the easy-to-remember “doo doo doo” phrase repeated throughout, even young children can quickly sing along.
It’s a perfect song for singing and dancing with the whole family at Christmas gatherings or parties at home.
White Christmas
When you think of Christmas, what kind of scene comes to mind? This song sings of the happy images of a white Christmas that I imagine.
Composed by American songwriter Irving Berlin and first brought to the world by singer and actor Bing Crosby, it has been covered by many famous artists, but Bing Crosby’s version is still the most frequently used today.
Set to a calm and gentle melody, it’s a song that dreams of the wonderful Christmases we’ve had and the Christmas scenes we hope to experience.
It’s a tender piece that makes you want to remember the wonderful Christmases spent with Mom and Dad even after you’ve grown up.
Christmas with everyoneSakushi Sakkyoku: Sakata Osamu
This song, “Christmas for Everyone,” might be a bit shocking because of its realistic lyrics.
It reveals the reality of Christmas outside one’s own home—namely, that there are houses where Santa doesn’t come—and realizing that is very important, isn’t it? That’s exactly why this socially conscious, classic Christmas song nurtures the kindness of wishing, “Santa, please give presents fairly to everyone.” The song was performed on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho” in December 1989.
It was written and composed by the big brother singer Osamu Sakata, and sung as a duet with the big sister singer Yuko Kanzaki.
