There’s just something about a good, country music Christmas song.

We’ve now reached the part of the calendar where it’s very much acceptable to listen to Christmas music. I hope you didn’t dive in too early, because you may have negatively affected your health if you did so (that’s according to a psychologist, not me).

Christmas music has a way of getting us all in the jolly, holiday spirit. Listening to songs that sing about Santa, reindeer, gifts under the tree, and whatever else that’s associated with Christmas can be a much needed pick-me-up during this time of the year where you spend a lot of time with your family and it gets dark before 5 o’clock at night.

But country music fans might not care for the pop or traditional Christmas music offerings that are generally played in stores and on the radio this time of the year. There’s a good chance that country music fans want to keep things country, even when it’s time to break out the holiday tunes.

Luckily for them, some of the greatest country music artists in the world have kept that group of people in mind. There’s a musical smorgasbord of country Christmas songs out there, and just as no two snowflakes are alike, no two countrified-Christmas-songs are the same.

Whether it be an original Christmas song, or a traditional one that’s given a country spin, there’s some holiday music out there for every country fan. Everyone can agree on that. The only thing that could stir up some disagreement is asking country music fanatics to choose the best country Christmas song of all time.

We here at Whiskey Riff actually did that recently, and sent out this question on all social media platforms:

That’s a tough one.

Just like anything else, it can be hard to narrow down a favorite. There are so many great songs and phenomenal artists to choose from. But if you had to name one, it’d probably match up with one of these on the list below. Here’s how country music fans responded to our Christmas inquiry:

“‘Merry Christmas from the Family’ by Robert Earl Keene.”

“Alabama’s ‘Christmas in Dixie.’”

“‘Let It Be Christmas’ by Alan Jackson.”
