For me it’s “White Christmas” With Bing singing it.
The PS Wall of sound technique is awesome. Love it. Very hard to do well and get a ‘wall of sound’ that works, rather than audio mud.
But Bob Rivers has some cool Christmas tunes too ;(

Well gosh, I never saw that before in my life. Merry Christmas to you, and to all of us.
My fave modern remake Christmas song -
The Decembermen’s version of “I Heard the bells on Christmas Day.”
I’ll be home for Christmas.

I give credit to Paul Shafer who obviously loves Darlene and to Letterman who over the years made her performance the highlight of his Christmas broadcast. Watch her first appearance back in 1986 with Shafer's much smaller band--Darlene's vocals more than make up for any deficiencies.
Another version with an anachronistic quality to it Blackmore's Night : Christmas Eve
Here is my favorite, featuring a great performance by Barney Frank
