Don't yell at me if your favourite isn't listed by name. Yell at Classic FM and/or the people who voted for the UK's favourite carol last year, because I used that list to decide which ones to include.

Please note that these are illustrative examples, not the only songs I think fit those categories: if you have a favorite that's not listed, see if it fits in one of the categories and vote that way.

ETA: Realized I put "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" as a really long gloria song instead of "Angels We Have Heard on High." Whoops. (IMO "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" should be "repeat chorus at the top of your lungs")

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas ☃️🤍

So Dr. Drakken and the Henchmen are taking a break from taking over the world by getting into the festive spirit. Singing some good ol' Christmas Carols at the Lair. They're having fun... Poor Shego on the other-hand... 😂

Christmas isn’t a season, it’s a feeling 🎄

WHAT kind of apparel are you donning?!?

Okay, I know there are some, ah… mixed feelings about Christmas music. Some love it, some hate it, some like it in non-excess at holiday times, some simply tolerate it. Retails workers often have love-hate relationships with it (trust me, I know 😭)

However I have come to find that most people seem to have at least one Christmas song they really like, one that really makes it feel like Christmas every year.

Obviously this will be limited because there are SO MANY Christmas songs out there, I’m going to group a couple of songs for each option that have similar themes, but as always please specify what you mean in the tags! I want to know what people are loving <3

This poll is just going to be for secular, non-religious songs. I may do a second poll just for those though!

I’ll Be Home For Christmas by MistressHeroine

Daryl had been waiting at the gate with Aaron that day, all set for their latest excursion for supplies and possible new recruits for Aexandria’s growing community of survivors. Rick had been called for up on the wall and as he ordered the gate to be opened he had turned to look down at Daryl almost deathly pale. Before he had a chance to call up and ask him what was wrong, the gate had slid open with a creak. Stepping out from behind a tall forty-something African-American man came a ghost from their past. Beth had looked road-weary, in dirt crusted old faded blue jeans, a dusty olive green parka and a threadbare grey beanie hiding her blonde braid. What once was golden now looked tarnished, the blonde of her hair covered in grime and dried blood - whether her own or someone else's, something else’s, he couldn’t tell.

My new story for the BHF23 Christmas prompt “Christmas Carols” is now up! Massive thank you to @im-immortal for your suggestions on this one, you really are the best ☺️

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it and best wishes to everyone for the new year ahead 🖤
