Having grown up in Chicago, Silver Bells has special meaning for me. What's your favorite?
Roy Orbison's Pretty Paper
for me Bing Crosby's "White Christmas"
I really enjoy the Trans Siberian Orchestra remake of some of the Christmas tunes. Traditionally I'm a fan of Silver Bells also.
Nat King Cole made "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire". I can still hear my father saying, "NOW it's Christmas" the first time it played on his old AM radio in the basement.
I can only pick ONE favorite? I don't think I can... I think it's a toss up between: Cool Yule by Louie Armstrong, Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Perry Como, and Carol of the Bells by David Foster
-Jason
Definitely The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole.
for me Bing Crosby's "White Christmas"
Watched it twice last night.
But, when I read the String title
All I could think of was the best
Bah! Humbug!
George C. Scott.
The TransSiberian Orchestra and Mannheim Steamroller have changed the entire field......I'll have to retire to rethink this question.... 
U2 - Christmas Baby Please Come Home
Vince Guaraldi's "Christmas Time Is Here". A jazz fan's cool yule.
Jonathan Coulton's "Christmas is Interesting" or maybe "Chiron Beta Prime"
Or the entire album "wir warten auf's christkind" by Die Toten Hosen.
I like my Christmas carols in the vein of Off Color...
Placido Domingo's rendition of O Holy Night.
I love George Winston's The Holly And The Ivy.
I originally said, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" by Perry Como, but it is actually sung by Andy Williams. Perry Como's, "It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas" is following the three I listed very closely.

54 years old and heard the same music over and over and am officially burned out, crispy crittered, heard all 542 versions of Jingle Bells recorded, don't want to hear a xmas song again. 
Cortez,
I’m going with your plural Subject line because I can’t name just one. I really enjoy collecting Christmas music.
Bing's White Christmas
Dean Martin's (Anything but especially A Marshmallow World)
Andy Williams It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Bobby Darin's Christmas Auld Lang Syne
Charles Brown’s A Song for Christmas
Elvis' Blue Christmas and Santa Claus is Back in Town
Frank Sinatra: too many to name
Leon Redbone's Frosty the Snowman and Toyland
Peggy Lee's Happy Holidays
Perry Como's (There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays
Ray Charles' Santa Claus is Coming to Town and That Spirit of Christmas
Jerry Butler's Little Red Shoes
Tony Bennett My Favorite Things
Johnny Prestone's (I Want A) Rock and Roll Guitar
Dodie Stevens' Merry, Merry Christmas Baby (This one will warm you up). I was going to provide a link on this one but this thread doesn't have the tool inupts.
mlaug, I enjoy not only George Winston's The Holly And The Ivy but his whole December album.
Bob Seger's version of the "Little Drummer Boy" he did a great redition of it, after that Trans-Siberian Orchestra...
You have a bunch of my favorites, menckenite. I had forgotten about Perry Como's (There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays... Now I have to rethink my list...
-Jason
Am I imagining this, or did both Andy Williams and Perry Como smoke a pipe?
It's begging to look a lot like Christmas.... Silver Bells and the Christmas song..are at the top for me...
The B.C. Clark Jeweler's Anniversary Sale jingle.
No,...I ain't kiddin.
Off the top of my head, I'd have to say "Nova Radost' Stala," an Eastern European Carol that most Westerners would probably never hear, and Mannheim Steamroller's rendition of "Pat-a-Pan."
"Do you hear what I hear" by Third Day
"Blue Christmas" by the King (Elvis)
I know this may sound strange (literally), but growing up in Southern California, it just isn't the Christmas season until I hear Jose Feliciano sing "Feliz Navidad". Awful I know, but I can't help it, it's such a happy little tune.
What no Burl Ives .Have a Holly Jolly Christmas and Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer .
Beautiful, but dark and haunting to Western ears. We Polish have Christmas hymns that have the same capacity to stir the emotions.

Here's a slightly brighter rendition. YouTube has several versions, including Russian (Ukrainian?) Nova radist' stala.

@cortezattic: good to hear there is a Polish version of Nova Radost' Stala! The melody is the same, and the Polsih is so close to the Rusyn and Ukrainian I grew up with that I can still understand it! Thanks for posting that!
Silent Night. Also The Cherry Tree Carol.
Dean Martin's (Anything but especially A Marshmallow World)
Traditional: O Holy Night, Carol of the Bells
Pop: Blue Christmas, basically the whole soundtrack of A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Novelty: Christmas in Hollis, Porky Pig's version of B-b-blue Christmas.
Simon
Guess I'm a Grench. I can't stand most Christmas music!
got to love this one searock
I love the Christmas season and Christmas songs in general, but if I had to pick favourite artists it would go like this:
Bing Crosby
Nat King Cole
Perry Como
Burl Ives
Vince Guaraldi
Frank Sinatra
Dean Martin
and whoever the kookie cats were that did the music for Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas
