7 Greatest Rock Christmas Songs  - Page 2

Grab your Santa hat, crack open something festive and warm up that air-guitar arm, you’re about to sleigh (yes, sleigh) Christmas like it’s 1989. Here are the top 7 rock Christmas anthem guaranteed to crank your holiday spirit to eleven.

1. AC/DC – “Mistress for Christmas”
The perfect track for the guy who thinks eggnog is a little too wholesome. Angus riffs, cheeky lyrics, this is Christmas with a wink and a shot of whiskey.

2. Trans-Siberian Orchestra – “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24”
Epic. Thunderous. The musical equivalent of Santa riding a flaming comet. If this doesn’t make you feel like the hero of your own Christmas action movie, nothing will.

3. The Ramones – “Merry Christmas (I Don’t Wanna Fight Tonight)”
Because sometimes the real holiday miracle is keeping it cool when the in-laws start asking questions. A punk-rock peace treaty wrapped in distortion.

4. Queen – “Thank God It’s Christmas”
Freddie delivers holiday goosebumps with pure vocal magic. Emotional enough to play during tree-decorating but still cool enough to pretend you’re not getting sentimental.

5. Billy Squier – “Christmas Is the Time to Say I Love You”
Straight from MTV’s golden age—hair, hope, and holiday cheer. The anthem for men who remember when music videos meant something.

6. The Kinks – “Father Christmas”
A gritty, guitar-driven tale of a Santa stick-up. For the guy who likes his holiday spirit with a side of sharp British sarcasm.

7. John Lennon – “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)”
Not heavy on the distortion, but spiritually rock’n’roll forever. A timeless, hands-in-the-air moment that still hits harder than most modern bangers.



Load these seven onto your playlist, turn the volume up and let the neighbors enjoy the holiday spirit whether they want to or not. Merry Rockmas!
