[2026] K-pop Christmas Songs: Korean Tracks That Color December (1–10)
첫 눈 The First SnowEXO
The Japanese title is “First Snow.” It sings of a man who still loves the lover he parted with.
It has a pop, Christmas-like jingle, but the lyrics are deeply heartrending.
When the first snow of the season arrives, he remembers the girlfriend he broke up with a year ago.
If only he could go back to that time—could they have started over? Regret keeps running through his mind.
Recommended for those who like brighter yet emo tracks.
KIIRASMASKIIRAS
KIIRAS is a girl group that debuted in May 2025.
Comprising members from Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea, this multinational group has been drawing attention for being executive-produced by R&B singer-songwriter SAAY.
Their Christmas song released in December marks the group’s first seasonal track.
In a complete shift from the powerful concepts showcased on their debut EP “Kill Ma Bo$$” and single album “Bang Bang!”, this one is a warm, pop-inflected carol.
The harmonies, which make the most of each of the six members’ distinct vocal tones, capture the sparkle of winter and are heartwarming just to listen to.
It’s the perfect song to enhance the year-end holiday mood or to play as background music while spending time with someone special.
Christmas AlonetripleS
The large-scale girl group tripleS—known for their fan-voted lineup changes and prolific unit projects—released the mini-album “Beyond Beauty” in November 2025.
This project EP is structured around four units—moon, sun, neptune, and zenith—with a finale group track that brightens the holiday season.
The song portrays spending Christmas night alone, yet instead of simply lamenting loneliness, it stands out for its forward-looking embrace of one’s own shine.
Motifs of starry skies and white snow outside the window evoke both ache and hope at once.
Its blend of sweetness and bittersweet tones is a better fit for a quiet night than a lively party.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone who wants a song to gently wrap around their solitary year-end moments.
Wonderful DayTwice
The Christmas song “Wonderful Day” is one that can make you happy.
It’s a track by the globally active girl group TWICE, included as the B-side to their first ballad single released in Japan in 2021, “Doughnut.” When it comes to TWICE’s Christmas songs, “Merry & Happy” is also a classic, but this one is highly recommended too! Along with the unique excitement and sparkling mood of Christmas, the members’ voices make your heart dance.
Above all, the lively back-and-forth and call-and-response parts are energizing.
It’s truly a wonderful song overflowing with TWICE’s bright, vitamin-like colors.
This ChristmasTaeyeon
A Christmas song by Taeyeon from Girls’ Generation, who’s also thriving as a solo artist.
Her gentle voice gives the track a warm yet bittersweet feel.
The song’s theme is about reminiscing last Christmas spent with a lover and wishing he could be by her side again.
It portrays the two of them sharing peaceful moments as snow blossoms dance in the air.
Though the singing is soft, you can subtly sense the sadness of longing for a former love.
