[2026] K-pop Christmas Songs: Korean Tracks That Color December (1–10)
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.
White Memoriesfromis_9
A winter pop song to accompany the season when we start longing for the chill in the air has arrived from fromis_9.
Released in December 2025, this track is a remake that reinterprets singer Kim Min-jung’s 2001 winter hit through a contemporary sensibility.
Its airy choral work and clear vocals evoke the warm emotions nestled within snowy landscapes.
Carried by flowing synth riffs and a comfortable mid-tempo groove, it leaves a lingering afterglow of yearning and tenderness.
This is the group’s first new song in about six months since their June mini-album “From Our 20’s,” and it showcases fresh charms from the now five-member lineup.
Its gentle mood makes it perfect for the year-end holiday season.
Recommended for those looking to add to their winter playlists or enjoy music where nostalgia and novelty intersect.
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.

Merry Christmas ahead (feat.Chundung) (미리 메리 크리스마스 (feat.천둥 of MBLAQ))IU
IU’s irresistibly sweet winter love song.
It sings about being able to stay close to your lover and walk side by side, and how happy being in love has made you.
With Christmas fast approaching, her love for her partner is deepening even more.
On Christmas Day, she’ll stay by their side the whole time.
That single-hearted devotion to the one she loves makes your heart flutter.
Christmas FeverJinyoung
Jinyoung, who has been active as a member of the boy group GOT7 and has made his presence felt as an actor in numerous dramas and films, completed his military service in November 2024 and released his first holiday single since returning in December 2025.
He participated in writing the lyrics himself, and the warm R&B and soul-infused sound gently accompanies winter nights.
The lyrics carefully layer imagery like white breath and the scent of winter, depicting emotions that well up like heat that can’t be contained.
Rather than flashy peaks, the appeal lies in a gentle, slow-building exhilaration that feels like your body temperature quietly rising.
It’s perfect for those moments when you find yourself thinking of someone special while walking through Christmas-lit streets.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for a song that will quietly warm your heart.
Wish to WishYOONA
As a member of Girls’ Generation who has been active on the global stage and an actor who has made a strong impression in works like King the Land, Yoona continues to shine.
Her winter single, released in December 2025, is a mid-tempo track that modernly reinterprets ’80s pop.
Set to a light, orchestral arrangement, her soft, composed vocals resonate beautifully.
Yoona herself wrote the lyrics, which express gratitude for the love she has received from fans throughout the year and a wish to keep shining together moving forward.
The lyrics are sprinkled with imagery of stars and light, overflowing with a gentle warmth that feels like quietly reaffirming a bond with someone special.
The sound balances splendor and serenity, leaving a pleasant afterglow no matter how many times you listen.
It’s a perfect song for a Christmas night spent with a lover or friends, as well as for moments alone gazing at the winter nightscape.
BFF(Best Friend Forever) (HAPPY CHRISTMAS ver.)TREASURE
A perfect song for a lively Christmas get-together is “BFF.” While many Christmas songs are love songs, this one is about friendship.
It’s by TREASURE, a group bursting with fresh charm, and it was used as an OST for the web drama “Phantom School,” with a Christmas version of the music video released in 2021.
Member Choi Hyun-suk participated in composing the track.
“BFF” stands for “Best Friend Forever,” and it’s a happy song that expresses heartfelt feelings for irreplaceable friends.
Play it at a Christmas party with fellow fans or friends to make things even more exciting!
