Why these songs work
Christmas music is the one genre every guest already knows by heart, which makes it perfect karaoke. This list mixes the modern pop hits that top the charts every December with the crooner classics and rock-and-roll standards that grandparents grew up with.
Open with a group song like "Feliz Navidad" or "Jingle Bell Rock", hand the big diva moment ("All I Want for Christmas Is You") to your boldest singer, and finish with a slow one by the tree.
