Holiday Selections from Musicals - List

[taboo123]

Can anyone please help create a list of songs from Winter Holiday Musicals?
All religious denominations included. List the obvious ones too...
Trying to compile a suggestions list for a variety show with a Winter holiday theme.

Looking for specific song titles and the musical they are from.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:)

White Christmas- White Christmas
Need a Little Christmas- Mame

[tazber]

God Bless Us Everyone - Menken and Ahren's A Christmas Carol

[GavestonPS]

My favorite:

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS

Something different for a strong female:

"Surabaya-Santa" from SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD

(The same show has a song called "Christmas Lullaby", which honestly I can't remember.)

[Jon]

Hard Candy Christmas - Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
It's beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas - Here's Love!
I Don't Remember Christmas - Starting Here, Starting Now
New Deal for Christmas - Annie
Twelve Days Till Christmas - She Loves Me
Merry Almost Christmas - A Year with Frog and Toad

[StageManager2]

"Be A Santa," Subways are for Sleeping

"Hard Candy Christmas," The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

"Merry Christmas, Maggie Thatcher," Billy Elliot

[Emmaloucbway]

"Turkey Lurkey Time" from "Promises, Promises."

[Brave Sir Robin2]

Christmas Bells - Rent

[adam.peterson44]

Christmas is my favorite time of year from Catch me if you can

Christmas bells from Rent

[After Eight]

"Pine Cones and Holly Berries"- Here's Love
"Christmas at Hampton Court"- Rex
"Happy, Happy New Year"- Dance a Little Closer
"I Feel Like New Year's Eve"- Something More

[After Eight]

"Speakeasy Christmas"- Legs Diamond
"Christmas Child"- Irma La Douce

[chewy5000]

The whole second act of Caroline or Change, mainly "The Chanukah Party"

[loliveve]

There is a Santa Clause- Elf

Also, have you considered checking out some of the original songs that on the "Broadway Carols for a Cure" CDs? They would be a great source of material as well.

[frontrowcentre2]

ALthough not strictly Christmas songs Toyland and March of the Toys (from BABES IN TOYLAND) do get a fair amount of play in the Holiday season.

Also...

It's Christmastime (SONG OF NORWAY)
Yuletide Park Avenue (CALL ME MISTER)
Lovers on Christmas Eve (I LOVE MY WIFE)
Be a Santa (SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING)

[TalkinLoud]

We Need A Little Christmas - Mame

[f13overture]

"Do-Re-Mi" from Sound of Music...yes it's technically not a Christmas song in the musical, but that doesn't stop it from constantly being played during Christmas season

[StageManager2]

Are you sure, f13overture? I know "My Favorite Things" has become a Christmas staple, but I've never heard "Do-Re-Mi" during the holidays.

[Marianne2]

Three Wishes For Christmas-Gypsy (Cut song)

[dreaming]

I would love to know how in the world "My Favorite Things" became a Christmas song. Just because it mentions snow and packages? It is a great song-but I'm certain Rodgers and Hammerstein never meant for it to be a Christmas song.

Now, to answer the question-does New Years count?

If so-"This Time Next Year" from "Sunset Boulevard" and "The Perfect Year" from "Sunset Boulevard"

[justoldbill]

At Christmastime - SONG OF NORWAY
(not "It's Christmastime")
Greenwillow Christmas - GREENWILLOW
Snowflakes And Sweethearts - ANYA
Ribbons And Wrappings - SONG OF NORWAY (film)
Blissful Christmas - GONE WITH THE WIND (Rome)
Christmas Day - PROMISES, PROMISES
A Christmas Carol - SCROOGE

Happy Christmas, Little Friend - Rodgers and Hammerstein
Thank You For Your Love - Schmidt and Jones

[Mildred Plotka]

The Varese Sarabande "A Broadway Christmas" is pretty comprehensive with some great performances. I highly recommend it:
