What, exactly, the difference between a hymn and a carol is, has been the subject of much discussion. This page will list religious songs associated with Christmas, in alphabetical order both by hymn tune and by popular English-language title. Foreign-language titles and first lines will be given in brackets (parenthesis).

For non-religious and novelty songs, see

Traditional

• Adeste Fideles - One of the best-known and best-loved of carols. Popularly known by the first line of the text, O Come All ye Faithful, it is one of very few hymns where a significant number of Christians may be able to sing at least the first verse in Latin. Sung in most Christian denominations, at all secular and ecumenical carol services, and often the hymn chosen to open a Christmas Eve service or Mass.

• Stille Nacht - The hymn tune for the ubiquitous Silent Night. Sung in most Christian denominations, at all secular and ecumenical carol services, and often the hymn chosen to close a Christmas Eve service or Mass.
