Poll: What is the greatest Christmas song ever?

We believe that it was the great Noddy Holder who said it best, when he roared: "IIIIIIT'S CHRIIIIISTMAAAAS!"

He wasn't wrong.

It is – nearly – Christmas, which means Christmas food, Christmas presents, Christmas drinks and Christmas music to accompany it all.

Well, to get you in the melodic mood, we decided to throw open another vote to you, and you can cast your vote at the bottom of this page.

Earlier this week we asked you to pick your favourite festive film of all time. Today it's the turn of Christmas songs, with twenty classic seasonal singalongs to choose from.

We'll reveal the results next week. There's still time to vote for your favourite film too, here.

We'd just like to apologise to any East 17 fans out there (if such things still exist) – we discussed it long and hard but Stay Another Day just failed to make the cut.
