I'm going to get all Grinchy here- the last five decades have been _dreadful_ for Christmas music, very little qualifies as "Classic", in the sense that it will be listened to, a century from now.
There are exceptions of course; Bowie/Crosby, Geldof, The Pogues...
So I'll just leave a few reminders of some old Good Stuff:


And a fun little video from 1967, Lalo Schifrin's "Look Up (Joy To the World)":

(PS: The complete "A Baroque Christmas" is on YouTube.
Don't listen to it on headphones. It needs space. Also, the engineering is pretty bad, so I'm not surprised that it hasn't been re-released recently.)
