I'm not surprised to see this here, though I wish it went a bit further. I never really liked this song so Kelly's rendition has to be my favorite so far! I love the "ba doo be do" in the background 13

I love the original Last Christmas, but somehow she made it way boring.
Santa Baby is just such an awful song that any version is just terrible. Easily last for me.

That's right! The three lowest SDs go out back-to-back! It's time for the amazing soon to be #1 "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" to leave. This song is so much fun and every version of it has lovely vibes. Kelly's vocals superiority!!! 12

Honestly, she just never misses with her original Christmas music so these results shouldn't be this surprising. Let's dive into the first two songs of the top 10! 10

Oh come on! This didn't deserve to be the first original song out. A lovely, cheerful duet! Isn't it amazing how there haven't been any #1 losses yet? How long do you think this will last? 9

And in the final reveal of the day, we see our first #1 loss... and three of them! You decided that "Christmas Come Early" is your least favorite solo original song! That's pretty harsh, don't you think?
RECAP
Remaining Songs: All I Want For Christmas Is You Blessed Christmas Eve Christmas Isn't Canceled (Just You) Glow (feat. Chris Stapleton) Merry Christmas (To The One I Used To Know) Merry Christmas Baby Santa, Can't You Hear Me (feat. Ariana Grande)
Eliminated Songs: 9. Christmas Come Early 10. Under The Mistletoe (feat. Brett Eldredge) 11. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas 12. Jingle Bell Rock 13. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree 14. Santa Baby 15. Last Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have an amazing time with your favorite people!

Literal trash taste y’all. Last Christmas is fabulous and CCE is gorgeous.

I forgot to join this, but man, Under The Mistletoe deserves better. It’s a solid original track, and Brett Eldridge’s voice always sounds pleasant for holiday tune.

9. Christmas Come Early
This did better than I thought it would. I enjoy the song but lower top 10 is appropriate IMO.
10. Under The Mistletoe (feat. Brett Eldredge) Same idea but I thought people would prefer this to CCE. A little surprised it beat out CCE.
11. It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas The best cover on the album IMO. Although I enjoy the song just in general.
12. Jingle Bell Rock This is...okay. I don't seek it out very often but I don't skip it either. Meh.
13. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree Overrated Christmas song tbh.
14. Santa Baby I got the bottom 2 spot on! Another situation where I don't care for the song just in general.
15. Last Christmas This is one that I don't like Kelly's version of. This would be a lot higher for me if it was a true cover of the original and not a recreated version tbh.

Aaand the last cover is out now! I know most people would rather hear Kelly's version of a... different "All I Want For Christmas Is You" but I love that she did this one. It's less flashy and a great way to re-introduce the song to a newer generation. 7

I love Kelly's version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and I'm glad it was this song and not the obnoxious Mariah Carey song

I absolutely love this edition of AIWFCIY (Not Mariah’s Version). I’ve always loved the original and Kelly’s just hits different.
Can’t wait for the moment I can dedicate this song to someone ☹️

Landing at #7 we have "Blessed". The song scored the median SD of the rankdown which perfectly describes how most of us feel about it. A mellow, emotional song (that almost reminds me of "Move You" at certain moments), but perhaps not a standout. 6

No one could've guessed that this would be the highest SD! This lovely duet between Kelly and Chris Stapleton is the last song to miss the top 5! There are only two #15 left in the game. How far will they go? 5

Unfortunately, the two remaining #15s had to be for my favorite song. Honestly, this is such a cool little tune that makes me happy. I didn't have a clear favorite from this album like I did for Wrapped in Red (the title track) but I'm glad I picked this. Stream "Christmas Isn't Canceled (Just You)" now. 4

This isn't the first time we're ranking "Christmas Eve"! For my KC veterans out there, the song was part of the first christmas rankdown we did back in 2019, when "Christmas Eve" wasn't part of any album or compilation, just a standalone single! It finished at #3 then, and it's a few points away from #3 now. Seems like it's held up well over the years! We're inches away from the top 3, people! 3
