In this crazy time we need Christmas more than ever. A feeling of joy, warmth and nostalgia is what we all heavily long for. Playing Christmas songs is a good start and will get you in the right mood. It works wonders.
In this Top 35 Wonderful Christmas Guitar Songs list we got some great Christmas classics, but also a few oldies and new ones you might not have heard before, just to spice things up a bit.
If you just want the Christmas classics and learn the songs we’re all familiar with check out Top 35 Easy Christmas Guitar Songs, but if you already got those under your belt and you want to expand your Christmas repertoire then be my guest and read on.
Now first pour yourself a nice warm mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows, turn on those Christmas lights, grab your favorite guitar (don’t forget to put on a new set of good sounding strings for some extra feel good) and then pick your favorites from the list and indulge yourself into the Christmas spirit.
I’ve put a Youtube link on each song title and two chord links next to it. The “Chords” link will take you to the chords & lyrics for the song and the “More Chords” link will show you chord and tablature song books from Amazon if you want to learn more songs of the artist concerned.

Enjoy the songs and happy holidays everyone! Look out for each other and give people a smile. They need it.
