Unfortunately the great Christmas song is a thing of the past, and great modern Christmas songs are far and few between. However, there are a food good ones from the 21st Century hanging around.

For me, The Darkness' 'Christmas Time' is head and shoulders above the rest, and stands well when put alongside the classics from the 70s and 80s.

What is your favourite(s)?

I quite like George Michael's recent Christmas Song December Song. It really should have been a bigger hit than it was. Of course it could never have been as classic as Last Christmas but I thought it was the best shot at a new Christmas song in recent years.

I really like Merry Xmas (Says Your Text Message) by Dragonette.

I heard it driving back home for Christmas break last year from uni, when Graham Norton played it on his radio show. Really put me in the mood!

That was also the first (and only) song that popped into my head! I love it so much

Gabriella Cilmi's "Warm This Winter" is very catchy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSckgBLs3qM

Also Thea Gilmore's "That'll Be Christmas". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qQAE794uvo

CeeLo Green and the Muppets "All I Need Is Love"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6ttXzJq42Y

Florin Street here too. A beautiful Christmas song and a video of equal Christmassy class. It's a travesty it didnt dent the charts.

Honourable mention to George Micheals December song

I know the answer to this one, OP. It's, 'The Ghost of Christmas' by Manic Street Preachers, isn't it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrCHcp8Z0lU

I love that one! I first heard it playing in Debenhams a few years ago and it was before Shazam so it took me a while to figure out it was Britney Embarrassing for such a big fan, I know! I eventually found it and downloaded it.

Great video, but aging now as most of the celebs are either dead or forgotten.

I think Mariah Carey - Oh Santa! is really underrated.

It's such a rip-off of Outkast's Hey Ya that I cannot take it seriously.

I think Sara Bareilles has done a beautiful Christmas song called Love Is Christmas, she really captured the true meaning of Christmas.

Also, her duet with Ingrid Winter Song is also great, but is not completely Cristmasy:

I also quite like Michael Buble's Cold December Night:

Christmas Lights by Coldplay is good

Christmas my Arse by Ricky Tomlinson was also a very funny take on Christmas
