Here’s the full list for the Obamas:
- “O Tannenbaum,” Vince Guaraldi Trio (A Charlie Brown Christmas)
- “Let It Snow,” Boyz II Men
- “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey
- “Santa Clause Is Coming To Town,” The Jackson 5
- “8 Days of Christmas,” Destiny’s Child
- “Someday at Christmas,” Stevie Wonder
- “The Christmas Song,” Nat King Cole
- “Silent Night,” Ledisi
- “Do You Hear What I Hear,” Yolanda Adams
- “Away In A Manger,” Kenny Burrell
- “Santa Baby,” Eartha Kitt
- “The First Noel,” Frank Sinatra
- “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” Luther Vandross
- “Little Drummer Boy,” Whitney Houston

For the Bidens, “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” by Bruce Springsteen came in first. You can check out the complete list via the link above.
Sadly, “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” did not make the cut for either list.
The Obamas, of course, are on Oahu for the holidays.
