Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the countdown.

This is the third year in a row that this song has been a feature here. That means it has been part of the countdown since it was released in 2023. It is hard to find new spins on old songs, especially for traditional Christmas carols that have been around forever. But the Lumineers made this their own and despite how much I love the fast pace of this tune in its original form (especially when Bill Murray sings it as Frank Cross in 1988’s “Scrooged”), this stunning cover is now my favorite version of this song.
