Sledding by Yuko Kanzaki

It’s an orchestral piece composed by the American composer Leroy Anderson.

You hear it in many places during the Christmas season.

The “shan-shan-shan” sound further enhances the festive Christmas feeling, and I bet children get excited when they hear this tune!

Yay! Santa is comingLyrics and music by Hirotaka Nakagawa

Yay! Santa Is Coming by Himawari 🌻 With Lyrics | Christmas Song, Children's Song | (♬ Santa Claus is coming~) Perfect for Christmas Parties

A perfect song to build excitement on Christmas Eve is “Yatta! Santa Is Coming.” As the title suggests, it captures the anticipation of Santa’s arrival.

The lyrics and composition are by Hirotaka Nakagawa, who is also active as a picture-book writer.

There’s a part in the song that sings about where Santa will come, and it could be fun to tweak that section a bit by inserting names like your home or your preschool.

There are also several spots for call-and-response, so it’s great for singing with a big group.

Winter Wonderland

With Lyrics: Winter Wonderland [King Records Kids, Baby, and Nursery Music Specialty Site “Suku♪Iku”]

A Christmas song known in Japan under the title “Suteki na Yukigeshiki” (“Lovely Snow Scene”).

It’s one of the classics you hear all over town when the holiday season arrives and is often used in children’s English programs as well.

While the original lyrics depict a romantic couple, Kenji Sazanami’s well-known Japanese adaptation conjures up images of children playing in the snow.

It isn’t strictly a song about Christmas, but since Christmas coincides with the snowy season, it’s a tune you’ll definitely want to sing.

With simple choreography, it’s also perfect for a school performance.

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Mom Kissed Santa — I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (Japanese cover)

It’s a famous Christmas song that the Jackson 5, who performed when Michael Jackson was a child, also covered.

It’s a really lovely tune, but it does say that Santa is actually Dad.

Children who still believe in Santa might freeze up for a moment, but let’s smooth things over with the fun, festive atmosphere of Christmas (lol).
