"Worst: “And So This Is Christmas” ...John and Yoko"

Amen to that!

Actually, there are so many execrable Christmas songs it's hard for my to single one out.

As to the best, an embarrassment of riches - I like the Renaissance motets like Byrd's "O Magnum Mysterium" and Gabrielli's "Hodie Christus Natus Est". Handel's Messiah, Bach's Magnificat, and a multitude of traditional Christmas hymns and carols.

Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!
