Even during the festive season, the airwaves were filled with infectious beats and holiday tunes, including some fun covers of songs which came before. Here's five festive hits we love:

Released in 1994, the song's catchy melody and heart-warming lyrics make it an essential part of any Christmas playlist. Its enduring popularity is a testament to Carey's ability to capture the spirit of the season with a contemporary twist.

Jon Bon Jovi stepped into the holiday spirit with his rendition of "Please Come Home for Christmas" in 1992. Originally recorded by Charles Brown, Bon Jovi's version infused the classic with his signature rock flair. The soulful rendition, filled with emotion and longing, showcases Bon Jovi's versatility as an artist and became a notable addition to Christmas playlists during the '90s. This heartfelt performance remains a cherished gem for fans of both Bon Jovi and festive tunes alike.
