1) Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York (most unlikely Christmas song)

2) Aled Jones The Snowman

3) Greg Lake I believe in Christmas

1. Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale of New York
2. Jona Lewie - Stop The Cavalry
3. Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas

I thought long and hard about whether I could include Queen's - "A Winter's Tale". A woefully under-rated, very sad and moving song from the "Made In Heaven" album - when you consider the circumstances and time in Freddie Mercury's life when this was written and recorded. Although it's not really necessarily a festive number, so decided to omit it from the top three.
