There is no denying that one of the best parts about the winter months is the revival of putting all of the Christmas records on repeat day after day. Radio stations are dedicated to the art of only playing those holiday hits and we salute them for doing their work in a festive fashion.

Not even country stars can resist the sounds of every cheery classic that chimes throughout their speakers and they all have had plenty of time to pick their favorites. With an endless array of options to throw on their Christmas playlists this season, they all rang in on their top picks of yuletide carols so fans can add a few more to their merry mixes.

Jon Pardi keeps his holiday in tune with the likes of the Rat Pack and other crooning Christmas songs, but it’s The King that makes him have a hunka-hunka burning love for the holidays.

“My favorite Christmas songs are all on my favorite Christmas album by Elvis Presley,” he admitted to Sounds Like Nashville in the exclusive video. “That’s all I need for Christmas, and maybe some Sinatra.”

Many of the artists, though, all agreed on one tune they grew up hearing at the midnight masses while going to church during the dead of night on Christmas Eve: “Away in a Manger.”

“It’s a holy moment for me when I hear that song,” said Canaan Smith.
