Awesome, thanks!

The one from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is not a song performance, so I can't add it.

I'd like it better than the Christmas Rap from Run D.M.C.

But I would chose the Run D.M.C. Christmas Rap "Christmas in Hollis" (yt) in Die Hard

It's in the scene when John McClane is on the way to the Nakatomi-party in the limousine.

Thanks, but it should be a song that is performed by characters in the movie, not a song that plays in the background.

Please take Silent Night (Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht) (yt, starting at about 4 minutes of playtime) from Merry Christmas in 2005. It's the best I can think of in these times of war. (image) (another image)

To be true, I want this to be my first suggestion and the other ones being second and third, because I wish so hard that the Ukrainians will have some peace - at least around christmas. I'm not that illusional to think they will meet with the Russians like in that movie, but the core of humanity shouldn't get lost. At least, without all the things around - what are we? Who are we? I hope humans after all. Love to the Ukraine!

@Jessica​ There's a ton of great Christmas music. Recalling which songs other than the ones I've already chosen is a small Herculean task for my feeble brain. So, that third pick is fine with me. If I remember another song I really do love, I'll just mention it as another honorable mention.

@Jessica​ It is not exactly a christmas song, but rather a song in a Christmas film, so I'm not sure if it counts. But my second choice could be Thank You Very Much from Scrooge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkq7WZTzkLQ

If this one is not allowed, then I'll go for You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch from the classic short How the Grinch Stole the Christmas

@Jessica ,

I'm still looking for images for specific performance. However, I would like to choose:

"Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht" ("Silent Night")

"Shchedryk" ("Carol of the Bells")

"The Christmas  Song"

Ideally, I'm looking for a guitar performance of Silent Night and a performance of "Shchedryk" by Shchedryk, the oldest running professional children's choir in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Is the guitar performance of Silent Night completely instrumental? It should preferably be a song performance.

Sadly, I was unable to find a version of "Shchedryk" sung by Shchedryk, the oldest running professional children's choir in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Thanks, I have added Silent Night.

I don't think I can add "Carol of the Bells" if it's not a song performance by characters in the movie.

And I'm not including music videos, so I can't add that version of "The Christmas Song".

My third pick would be "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" from the 1970 show by the same name.  It was sung by Fred Astaire (yes, the dancer).  Fred plays the mailman and my son helped me get a picture of him:  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066327/mediaviewer/rm1747802112?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_sf_47

S.D. Kluger is his character's name. I am using the character names in the descriptions, but I will add Astaire's name as well since it isn't tagged in the image.
