Jingle Bell Pop

Jingle Bell Pop is worth the short listen if you're interested in the origins of Christmas songs and “behind the scenes” of how some of the “modern” era songs were written and recorded.

This is a fun short listen about the history of Christmas and Holiday music. It starts with Silent Night, and includes explanations for songs like Jingle Bells. It has some really interesting interviews with songwriters of songs like Santa Baby and All I Want For Christmas Is You. They try to answer the question of why some songs “stick” and come back every year. They don't really have a definitive answer of course, but there are some interesting theories.
