Stretchy PantsCarrie Underwood
At Christmas, you can’t help but crave festive treats like fried chicken and cake, right? For those who feel happier thinking about what to eat than looking at beautiful illuminations, the Christmas song “Stretchy Pants” is highly recommended.
It was released by Carrie Underwood in 2021.
At first glance, the title doesn’t sound very Christmassy, does it? In fact, “stretchy pants” refers to elastic-waist pants, and the song conveys the feeling: “Since I’m wearing stretchy pants, I can eat as much as I want.” Stretchy pants are a must for enjoying a Christmas party!

Blue ChristmasElvis Presley
This song is themed around the Christmas of Elvis Presley, the American superstar who rose to fame in the 1950s with his rock ’n’ roll and blues performances and vocals.
The duet, driven by his irresistibly sultry, lower-register voice and a call-and-response with singer Martina McBride, remains a sexy, moody Christmas song that hasn’t faded with time.
