From the first day of November through New Year’s Day, the air is filled with the familiar strains of holiday music. Some enjoy the cheerful jingle, while others find the constant stream a bit much, with a quarter of retail workers admitting that festive tunes can drain their emotional energy.
Yet, no matter how many complaints there are, Christmas melodies remain a staple of our shared heritage.
As Post writer Rich Lowry observes: “American tastes have drastically changed over the decades, yet our Christmas songbook has remained largely the same. With honorable exceptions — most notably Mariah Carey’s 1994 classic, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — the most played and most beloved Christmas songs date from the 1930s and the couple of decades after.”
In celebration of this seasonal repertoire, we’ve paired a classic track with each zodiac sign. Keep reading, crank the volume, and enjoy the festivities.
“Father Christmas” – The Kinks
Aries exudes raw energy, kicking off the season with a punchy, rebellious vibe that’s right up their alley. The Kinks’ guitarist Dave Davies says he’s drawn to the song’s humor, edge, and bitterness, recalling the tough Christmas seasons of his parents’ youth.
It’s unmistakably high‑octane, a shout‑out to bull—t for the jingle bells, with unapologetic Aries enthusiasm.
“Christmas in Hollis” – Run DMC
Taurus, rooted in material comfort and earthly pleasures, will nod along to this upbeat track that tells the story of a good Samaritan turning a misstep into a rewarding holiday.
“The Little Drummer Boy” – Frank Sinatra
Gemini, ever adaptable, may find themselves improvising a drum solo instead of presenting a gift. The “Pulsing Beat” of this song—“pa rum pum pum pum”—fits their mutable nature. A close runner‑up is Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” which celebrates dance and joy over reflection.
“Last Christmas” – WHAM!
George Michael, a quintessential Cancer, poured his emotional angst into this ballad about a broken relationship played out over the holidays—a classic Cancer mix of heartfelt vulnerability and a touch of melancholy.
“All I Want For Christmas Is You” – Mariah Carey
Leo, the sign of royalty, is well matched to Mariah Carey, whose hit has become the definitive queen of Christmas tunes. Even though she’s an Aries, the song’s triumphant, pride‑filled spirit resonates with Leo’s demand for devoted affection and regal flair.
“White Christmas” – Bing Crosby
A flawless holiday scene that appeals to Virgo’s exacting standards, paired with the underdog anthem “Rudolph the Red‑Nosed Reindeer,” which encapsulates the Virgo theme of illuminating a path for others.
“Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” – John Lennon & Yoko Ono
John Lennon, an iconic Libra, delivers an earnest plea for peace combined with Yoko Ono, the Harlem Community Choir, and a hopeful chorus that reflects Libra’s idealistic hopefulness. Lennon’s own words about marrying a political message with gentility echo Libra’s balanced nature.
“River” – Joni Mitchell
Scarlet‑eyed Scorpio finds solace in Mitchell’s melancholic ode—a modern, bittersweet take on the Christmas experience that resonates with those who feel detached or mournful during the season.
“Feliz Navidad” – José Feliciano
For Sagittarius, this celebratory track’s repeated chorus—“Feliz Navidad / Próspero año y felicidad”—mirrors the sign’s love of adventure, optimism, and turning trials into triumphs.
“Fairy Tale of New York” – The Pogues
Shane MacGowan, a native Capricorn, crafted this bittersweet winter narrative, capturing the weary heart of someone spending Christmas Eve in a tough spot. The song’s no‑nonsense approach matches Capricorn’s straightforward style, yet it carries a hopeful note.
“Do They Know It’s Christmas?” – Band Aid
Aquarius thrives on community action, so this humanitarian anthem—originally aimed at raising awareness for the Ethiopian famine—fits naturally. It featured major stars and raised millions, although later investigations revealed some complications regarding the funds’ ultimate use.
“I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday” – Wizzard
With its glitter and joyous swagger, this glam‑rock classic captures Pisces’ love of escapism, vibrant color, and a whimsical holiday vibe.
