Holiday Music Poll 2023
Every year here at MITM, we ask for you tell us your favorite Holiday Songs. It’s not difficult to think of all the great Holiday classics that we all grew up with and enjoy year after year, because most of the traditional pop Holiday songs originated from the Great American Songbook artists. Combine that with all the great Contemporary songs and it’s always a great Holiday season here.
The votes are in for our 17th annual Holiday Music Poll Top 100 Countdown! We’ve counted all the votes and checked the list twice. We hope you enjoyed the countdown and that your song(s) made the list! Tune in throughout the holiday season for your songs and more.
