They may be sung by Mariah, Bing, or Michael Bublé, but the heart of every Christmas song starts with the songwriter. Behind the melodies that fill malls, homes, and playlists in December are lyricists and composers whose festive creations have stood the test of time. This challenge is for those who want to go beyond the voice and celebrate the pens behind the magic.
🎄 Match Christmas Movie Release Years to Their Titles
Match 20 of the most beloved Christmas songs with the people who wrote them. From legends like Irving Berlin to pop icons like George Michael, these names helped shape the soundscape of the holiday season. Some collaborated to create their masterpiece, while others wrote a hit solo in just a few hours (The Christmas Song, anyone?).
From Tin Pan Alley to Modern Pop
Many of these tunes were born in the golden age of songwriting, with creators like Johnny Marks writing multiple hits still played today. Others emerged from unexpected places—Paul McCartney crafted Wonderful Christmastime during a solo session, while Mariah Carey co-wrote her now-ubiquitous anthem with Walter Afanasieff in the ‘90s.
🎄 Pair Christmas Album Names to the Artists Who Released Them
