List of popular Christmas singles in the United States
The following is a list of popular Christmas songs recorded by various artists, many of which have hit on various charts, mostly in the United States (some only released in the artist's home country). The year indicates the original year of release for that artist's recorded version of the single or track, which may not necessarily be the first year the artist's version appeared on one or more popular music charts by various music trade publications. Many tracks were re-released as singles in subsequent years.

Parodies
Radio personality Bob Rivers has written countless Christmas parodies. Some of the most notable include "The Twelve Pains of Christmas" and "The Restroom Door Said Gentlemen". He has also written some original humorous holiday songs, including "The Chimney Song". These have appeared on, as of 2006, five albums: Twisted Christmas, I Am Santa Claus, More Twisted Christmas, Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire and Christmas.
Da Yoopers released "Rusty Chevrolet" in 1986, with lyrics written by Jim DeCaire & Joe Potila used with the song "Jingle Bells".
The comedy duo of Stan Boreson and Doug Setterberg reached No. 10 on the Billboard Christmas charts in 1970 with "Christmas Goose (Snowbird)", a parody of Anne Murray's "Snowbird".
Homer and Jethro parodied the song "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" as "All I Want for Christmas Is My Upper Plate", on their 1968 album Cool Crazy Christmas.
The US TV series South Park aired an early Christmas episode (and namesake song), "Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo" in 1997. This led to annual Christmas episodes, many including brand new songs or parodies of traditional tunes. An all-music sing-along Christmas 'special' was hosted by Mr. Hankey and a full-length album of the 'new Christmas classics' from the series was released, along with videos for all the songs.
The political satire group The Capitol Steps has released four Christmas albums: Danny's First Noel (1989), All I Want for Christmas Is a Tax Increase (1993),O, Christmas Bush (2006), and Barackin' Around the Christmas Tree (2009). In addition, some of their other albums contain parodies of Christmas songs. The group's first performance in 1981, was a Christmas show.
Many Christmas songs were parodied by the Floridian band, The Monsters in the Morning; they were included on the second disc of the Monsters Double Brown album.
