How dare you say “pleh” to the Dean Martin version.
How about Wayne Newton?

BING! BING! BING! Accept no substitutes!
Different song, not even sure it is considered a Christmas song, but Jim Reeves’ version of “Scarlet Ribbons” is great. https://youtu.be/UAuqEajP4o0
Hey, that’s not bad
Michael Buble with Naturally 7 - nice bass voice in background
Alan Jackson - very sweet, simple and typical Alan J!

He sure could. He used to have regular jam sessions, which were fun to listen to as they hashed out the songs, and had a good time.
Missing Rush and his music selections.
Especially this time of year.
OOH WE MAY HAVE A WINNER
Meh, I dig it not. Thanks for the suggestion tho!
Elvis’ Silver Bells gets my vote!
Flute & Harp - Greensleeves (Instrumental)
Bing Crosby - A Home In The Meadow (Greensleeves)
I also like the following Bing Crosby song:
Johnny Mathis. You may also like the Tony Bennett version.
Bing Crosby is the most iconic version, IMO. He actually did several.
If I went with something different, I typically prefer Andy Williams singing most anything.

After Andy I’d go with the one and only Elvis.

Great question!
No one can sing it better than Elvis,
but if you’re looking for just a musical,
upbeat version of Silver Bells, check
out The Ventures. The Ventures Christmas
album is one of my favourites.

Can’t go wrong with Mannheim Steamroller or Trans Siberian Orchestra (although I don’t believe they have done a “Silver Bells” rendition). Any of their Christmas albums are great listening.
