[Western music] Christmas songs that make you want to sing at karaoke

Vocal coachKubota Mami
After working as a voice trainer at a studio for seven years, I went independent in 2025. To date, I’ve taught more than 300 students. Honestly, I started teaching out of simple curiosity (lol). When I was job hunting, I stumbled across a listing for a “vocal instructor,” thought, “What is this?!” and applied on impulse. That’s how I became a teacher with zero prior knowledge—so I went through more training than anyone and studied a lot on my own. When I started teaching what I’d learned to my students, their responses were really positive, and that’s when I felt a real sense of purpose. As a teacher, I absolutely love those moments when I’m growing together with my students. As for my musical activities, I’ve been playing bass in a wind ensemble since high school and still do. I’ve also performed live in a band as a singing bassist, and sometimes I’m invited to sing as a vocalist only. Through vocal training, I want to keep using my voice and stay healthy and beautiful for years to come!

Holly Jolly ChristmasMichael Bublé

Michael Bublé – Holly Jolly Christmas [Official HD]

Holly Jolly ChristmasMichael Bublé

Originally, it’s a classic Christmas song from the 1960s, first performed by Burl Ives.

Michael Bublé’s version was released in 2011.

It has jazzy elements, making it very stylish and easy to groove to.

At just two minutes long, it’s not hard to learn and feels familiar, so I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to pick up a Christmas tune! Overall, it’s a song that sounds really cool when sung with a relaxed feel and a light touch.

The jazz swing is key—don’t overthink it, let your body catch the groove! The rhythm will naturally fall into place.

I feel like it’s perfect for singing while swaying side to side with a drink in hand.

Try singing it as if you’re humming during a little break!

The First NoelPentatonix

Pentatonix – The First Noel (Official Video)

The First NoelPentatonix

Many of you may already know the original song, which comes from the traditional English Christmas carol “The First Nowell / The First Noel.” Pentatonix focuses on a cappella harmonies, making both the lead melody and the harmony parts easy to hear, and their singing seems to flow straight into the heart.

Some of you might be practicing a cappella for the Christmas season, right? Since a cappella relies on singing in perfect sync, I think it’s best to memorize the lyrics completely.

Of course, singing it solo at karaoke also creates a great atmosphere! Rather than singing it in a flowing manner, if you deliver each phrase carefully and with feeling, it becomes a very compelling piece—so sing it with confidence!

[Western Music] Christmas Songs That Make You Want to Sing at Karaoke (31–40)

Christmas Time Is Here AgainThe Beatles

The Beatles – Christmas Time is Here Again

Christmas Time Is Here AgainThe Beatles

This song was recorded in 1967 and was distributed on the fan club Christmas record “Christmas Time Is Here Again!” A shortened version was later released in December 1995 as the B-side of the single “Free as a Bird.” Since the same phrase repeats throughout the song, it should be easy for first-time listeners to pick up.

You might find it most enjoyable to sing along in a big group! If you gradually build up the energy as you go, it won’t feel monotonous and will have a nice sense of dynamics.

Have Yourself a Merry Little ChristmasBob Dylan

Bob Dylan, a musician from the United States who is also popular in Japan, is known for his distinctive, gritty voice.

Surprisingly, however, his singing style is gentle and enveloping.

One example is his Christmas song “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” While his voice creates a sense of power, the vocal line itself is simple, with little inflection and few high notes, making it very easy to sing.
