Husbands are famously hard to buy for at Christmas, and most of them would never ask for a love song. That is exactly why one lands. A song you chose, played at the right moment, says the thing a sweater cannot.

Here are Christmas love songs to send him, slow soul and crooners for a dance by the tree, a few fun ones he will happily claim, and some love songs that are not about Christmas but fit the day. All real recordings, each with a note on when to play it.

    About loving someone into old age. A good slow dance once the guests have gone.

How to choose

Do not wait for a big moment

Many husbands squirm at grand gestures. A song played while you clean up together on Christmas night often lands better than one played in front of the whole family.

Go with his music

If he only listens to classic rock or country, pick from that corner. He will notice that you chose something for him, not for you.

Tie it to one memory

Send the song with a line about a Christmas together: the first tree you bought, the year you drove through the snow to your parents. The memory does the work.

Questions people ask

What is a good Christmas song for my husband?

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey says it best. For a slow dance, "Merry Christmas, Baby" by Otis Redding or "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole. For a country husband, "Christmas Cookies" by George Strait.

What Christmas love song can I send a husband who is away?

"Christmas Without You" by Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton is about exactly that. Send it with a photo of the tree and the date he gets home.

Can I give my husband a Christmas song about us?

Yes. Tell us your story and we turn it into lyrics and a finished song with his name in it. It arrives as a private link he can play and download.

Can I hear it before I pay?

Yes. You hear a free preview first, and pay only if you love it.

Will it be ready for Christmas morning?

The full song is ready minutes after you pay, on any day including Christmas morning.
