A Christmas song is a song which is normally sung during the time period leading up to, and sometimes shortly after, Christmas day, and generally has lyrical content addressing the holiday, the winter season, or both. Christmas music is prevalent to the holiday spirit all around the world. New Christmas songs keep coming every year, while the traditional

carols and hymns are also very much played on Radio or TV. These songs fall into several different categories, depending on both the content and age of the songs.
Some traditional songs, even those without any specific religious/christian context, are often called Christmas carols. And songs with religious reference, typically addressed to the God or songs of praise sung during devotional prayers are called Christmas hymns. For example, the Christian-centered "O Come All Ye Faithful" and the totally secular "Deck the Hall(s)" could easily be found on Christmas-based record albums by choirs or other church-sounding artists.
Some songs of more recent times, often introduced in films, are specifically about Christmas and the joyous celebrations, but are not overtly religious, and are not typically classified as Christmas carols. The archetypal example is 1942's "White Christmas" song from the famous movie.
A significant category of the secular songs are regarded as "Christmas" songs due to the time of year they are most often sung, although they never mention anything about Christmas or even about Santa Claus. These songs include traditional favorites such as "Winter Wonderland". These songs fall into the generic "winter holiday" classification, as they carry no religious connotations at all.
Another subset of the popular holiday songs, apart from the more sincere ones, are the many parodies on existing songs, which are usually classified as "Novelty songs". They range from the cuteness of "The Chipmunk Song", by Alvin and the Chipmunks, to the Cold War gallows humor of "Christmas at Ground Zero". Many big and famous stars also add to the list of Christmas songs and even make remixes of classic Christmas songs giving them a new style of music for the new generation.
