[2026] Songs About Santa Claus: A Compilation of Santa’s Classic Tracks to Enjoy at Christmas (61–70)
Everyone is surely someone’s Santa Claus.Mikage Yuuka IN db
Saegusa Yuuka in db is a four-member rock band.
Their first Christmas song is “Daremo ga Kitto Dareka no Santa Claus” (“Surely Everyone Is Someone’s Santa Claus”).
Some of you may remember it as a TV show theme song.
This work is a gentle ballad that, as the title suggests, conveys the message that “everyone is loved by someone.” Created under the theme of a “warm Christmas song,” it truly lives up to that concept.
Santa Claus is busy.Sakushi sakkyoku: Aramaki Shake, Hirai Takato, Kizzu Purannā
On Christmas Day, Santa has to deliver presents to children all around the world, so he’s incredibly busy! This song is about Santa’s preparations before he sets off, even though he’s so busy.
With gestures, we go down the checklist: Is Santa’s outfit all set? Does he have the important presents? As a song, it’s complete as is, but its special feature is that the tempo speeds up with each repeat.
It turns into a little game where you try to keep up with the faster tempo and perform the preparation gestures without making mistakes.
In the end, the order of the preparations changes too, so it works as a brain-teaser as well!
That is Santa Claus.Sakushi sakkyoku: Shinzawa Toshihiko
This Christmas song opens with a question-like address that leaves a strong impression.
It weaves in classic sleigh bells and chorus, expressing in a very straightforward way the feelings of children eagerly waiting for Santa Claus.
It’s the kind of track that makes you want to watch over children with warmth as they drift off to sleep on Christmas night while waiting for Santa.
Santa and the Little ReindeerSakushi sakkyoku: Shinzawa Toshihiko
This is a song created so that Santa and his little reindeer can dance together with fun choreography.
It has a delightfully Christmas-like mood, the kind of tune that makes you smile as you sing along.
With many voices singing, it’s enjoyable to listen to on its own.
But do try striking the Santa pose and the reindeer pose! I’m sure it will make for a wonderful Christmas.
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claussakushi sakkyoku fujimoto fusako
This song, with the slightly surprising and novel title “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” is likely to be received differently by children and adults.
For adults, it’s a very romantic song; for children, perhaps it sounds mysterious.
Children really do keep a close eye on Mom and Dad, don’t they? It’s a warm, gentle Christmas song about Santa.
Laundry Santa Claussakushi: Suzuki Tsubasa / sakkyoku: Nakagawa Hirotaka
The very title, “Laundry Santa Claus,” grabs your heart from the start.
It’s basically a dad joke at this point, but that actually makes it more approachable and fun, right? The song is simply about Santa Claus doing nothing but laundry, and it even comes with a fun dance routine.
It’s a totally new kind of Santa Claus song that basically says, “You’ve just got to enjoy it!”
Snaggletoothed Santa ClausMinamino Yoko
As the Christmas season arrives, nostalgic melodies can be heard everywhere.
There are many songs themed around Santa Claus, but here’s one that perfectly blends the breezy lightness and cuteness characteristic of 80s idols.
Included on Yoko Minamino’s album “GARLAND,” this track was released in November 1987.
The lyrics, told from the perspective of a woman waiting for her boyfriend on Christmas Eve, weave together realistic romance and humor, stirring warm feelings in listeners.
The heroine’s earnest contentment with a modest life with her lover is striking, conveying an authentic romance set against the romantic atmosphere of Christmas.
It’s a perfect song for Christmas party background music.
