Now that we're officially in the Christmas season, it's time for a festive, music-filled episode of The Goodkind Podcast. Clayton, Chris, and Amy dive headfirst into the holiest of holiday debates: Which Christmas songs are actually good… and which ones should be banned forever?
From Mariah Carey to claymation classics, from nostalgic hymns to deeply questionable novelty tracks (looking at you, Dominick the Donkey), the team drafts their best and worst Christmas songs and explains why music shapes the season so powerfully.

They explore what makes a Christmas song meaningful, singable, memorable, or downright chaotic — and along the way share childhood memories, musical hot takes, and a few moments of friendly Christmas-themed outrage.

Whether you’re blasting the classics the moment Halloween ends or refusing to hit play until December 1, this episode will make you laugh, think, and probably text someone your own list of “songs that should be deleted forever.”

Takeaways

• There are only about twelve classic Christmas songs… but apparently unlimited opinions.

• Not all Christmas songs are created equal (some need to be retired immediately).

• Meaningful lyrics, singability, and nostalgia shape which songs stick with us.

• Memories tied to music often matter more than the song itself.

• Playfulness and joy in music help anchor us in the season’s meaning.

• Christmas music connects generations and believers from many backgrounds.
