Christmas & Holiday Songs to License
Original Christmas and holiday songs with real vocals — 94 of them, written by professional songwriters and licensable from $30. New entries for the canon, not covers of it: most "royalty free Christmas music" is the same handful of public-domain standards re-recorded as instrumental filler, while every song here is a new piece of holiday songwriting, sung by real singers, with a one-time $99 royalty-free buyout where the writer offers it.
Seasonal work is where the buyout earns its keep. A holiday campaign, a December episode, a Christmas video your channel brings back every year — pay once and the grant is permanent, so nothing expires when the season returns. And because every song here exists in multiple full productions, the same song plays as a full-band Christmas production or a quiet December ballad: match the energy to the campaign, not the campaign to the demo.
Artists cutting a holiday single get the other half. Audition any song below in your own key with live pitch and tempo controls, license it, and release your version with the writers credited and a certificate documenting your rights — with exclusive terms available if you want the song off the market for the season.

Common questions
- Can I use these Christmas songs in an ad or video?
- Yes. Each song can be licensed for commercial use, including ads, film, TV and social video, starting at $30.
- Are these royalty free Christmas songs?
- These are original Christmas and holiday songs you license from $30, and many offer a one-time $99 royalty-free buyout that removes ongoing royalty obligations — ideal for holiday videos, ads, and playlists that come back every season. Buyout-enabled songs also appear on our royalty-free page.
- Are these covers of famous Christmas songs?
- No — every song here is an original, written by professional songwriters. That's the point: your project gets real holiday songwriting without the licensing cost of a standard.
- Can I record my own version of a holiday song?
- Yes — that's what the base license grants: record and release your own version, from $30, with the writers credited and a certificate documenting your rights. Exclusive terms are available if you want the song off the market for the season.
