20 Of Dolly Parton's Very Best Christmas Songs

• 20. “Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas” (with Michael Bublé) – 2020

  Share

  A new Christmas standard; it's a duet with Michael Bublé. The cartoon video is just as fun as the song.

• 19. “The Little Drummer Boy” – 1990

  Share

  A classic performed to perfection by a classic.

• 18. “O Little Town of Bethlehem” – 1990

  Share

  I just love this song, and Dolly's version brings me right into the manger.
• 17. “Christmas on the Square” – 2020

  Share

  This musical premiered on Netflix in 2020. A fantastic movie and a wonderful song.

• 16. “Holly Jolly Christmas” – 2020

  Share

  Dolly's version holds up nicely, and Burl Ives would surely be proud.

• 15. “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” – 1990

  Share

  Dolly's 1990 Christmas album seemed to be aimed at children as a chorus of some of her siblings' children sang along in the studio with "Aunt Granny," a nickname her young family members use for Parton.
• 14. “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” – 1990

  Share

  Another great remake from her 'Home For Christmas' album.

• 12. “Once Upon a Christmas” – 1984

  Share

  This is an original song written by Dolly for her and Kenny Rogers' 'Once Upon A Christmas' album. It has now become a classic.

• 11. “With Bells On” – 1984

  Share

  Another original from 'Once Upon A Christmas' album.
• 10. “I Believe in Santa Claus” – 1984

  Share

  Once Upon A Christmas' has sold millions of copies since its release, and this song is a big reason why. The album's release was accompanied by a CBS television special, 'Kenny & Dolly: A Christmas to Remember.'

• 8. “You Are My Christmas” (featuring Randy Parton) – 2020

  Share

  A beautiful song she sings with her brother Randy. Back in the 1970s, Randy was in his big sister's band. Sadly, Randy passed away in January 2021.

• 7. “The Greatest Gift Of All” – 1984

  Share

  Dolly wrote this for the 'Once Upon A Christmas' album.
• 6. “A Smoky Mountain Christmas” – 2022

  Share

  A song Dolly sings to close out her 2022 Christmas TV special movie "Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas" on NBC. The song is a gem and was resurrected from Parton's 1989 TV movie, "A Smoky Mountain Christmas."

• 5. “Go Tell It on the Mountain” – 1990

  Share

  A traditional classic Parton really dives into. I just love the Christmas morning church vibe it gives me.

• 4. “A Christmas to Remember” – 1984

  Share

  Duet with Kenny Rogers. Parton wrote this one too. It was the title of her and Kenny's TV special in 1984.
• 3. “Mary, Did You Know?” – 2020

  Share

  The first song she released to tease the new Christmas album back in October 2020.

• 2. “Hard Candy Christmas” – 1984

  Share

  First recorded for the 1982 movie 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.' It was later put on her 1984 duet album with Kenny Rogers. Many have redone it over the years, including Reba in 2016.

• 1. “Christmas Without You” – 1984

  Share

  Not a Christmas had gone by since 1984 when I didn't listen to and sing along with this song. I've played it on vinyl, cassette, CD, and now on iTunes. It's one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time, and you know who wrote it? Yep, Dolly Parton!
