Everyone loves a good singalong to Mary’s Boy Child! Interestingly this song is actually one of the bestselling singles of all time!

As far as Christmas songs go, Mariah is definitely up there. Plus who doesn’t like to try to hit those high notes?!

This one’s a bit of a guilty pleasure in the Cars on Demand office but it’s the perfect song to belt out whilst driving.

Who knew how iconic this 1973 Christmas song would become? A staple on everyone’s playlist, this single gets re-released every year.
