You've heard all these songs as you do your Christmas shopping.
But as repetitive as they get this time of year, there's no denying just how great Christmas songs are.
The Hits and NZH Focus presenter Sarah Gandy has compiled her list of the top five Christmas songs of all time.
With so many great hits to choose between, it may prove controversial.
While certain Scrooges out there may complain about the lack of Snoopy's Christmas, Mariah Carey's instant classic All I Want For Christmas Is You is more than worthy of the No. 1 spot.
For anyone putting together their Christmas Day playlists, make sure you don't skip out on these.
