Steph – Yoseob & Daniel’s “First Snow, First Kiss,” INFINITE’s “Lately,” and Kanto’s “Before The Snow" link featuring As one “Yoseob and Daniel’s ‘First Snow, First Kiss’ link will forever be my 最喜爱的 Winter/Holiday song. The lyrics combine with the sweet melody of the song to create a unique track. No matter how many times I listen to this song, it never loses its attraction and always brings a smile to my face. It’s the song that I listen to when I need motivation and encouragement at any point of the year. I’m thankful for this song. ”
Flowsion – BoA’s “Merry-Chri/Meri Kuri” and “Winter Love” link & link & link
Ginnie & Alanna – EXO’s “Miracles In December”
Ginnie: “A unique take on the normally upbeat outlook towards 圣诞节 and romance, this song highlights the vocal talents of the members as well. It is a really expressive track, although sad, but overall, it’s a good listen.” link
Sam – IU’s “Merry 圣诞节 in Advance” featuring Thunder link
Joyce – Yoseob & Daniel’s “First Snow, First Kiss”
“I heard this song on the first 圣诞节 that I celebrated after listening to K-Pop. Till this 日 the cheerful melody brings back feelings of nostalgia to me.”
Isabelle – Eric Nam’s “Melt My Heart”
“This song is all about the happiness of being in 爱情 even through the cold first snow. It’s upbeat, catchy, sweet, and just makes 你 want to find your own winter romance when 你 listen to it!” link
Alexa – DBSK and Super Junior’s “Show Me Your Love” and SHINee’s version of “Last Christmas”
“Show Me Your Love”: “Yes, I know this song was released back in 2005 but no matter how many times I listen to it, it never fails to bring a smile to my face! Re-watching this 音乐 video and seeing how young and energetic DBSK and (newly debuted) Super Junior were is quite endearing, haha (especially since they are both presented with 更多 mature concepts nowadays).”
“Last Christmas”: “A SHINee twist on one of my 最喜爱的 圣诞节 songs? Yes please! I liked how they were able to add their own style in this revamped 2011 cover. This is definitely one lighthearted song 你 want to listen to this holiday season!” link
Kristine – BTS’s Jungkook & Rap Monster, 2AM’s Jo Kwon, 8eight’s Joo Hee, and Lim Jeong Hee’s “Perfect Christmas” link
Stacey – DJ DOC’s “Winter Story” and Shin Seung Hoon’s “Christmas Miracle” ft. Kim Jo Han
“Winter Story”: “This is one of the oldest Korean songs I’ve grown up listening to and I still enjoy playing this every holiday season! It’s a story about winter and the sadness the [singer] is feeling about how he will never see the 爱情 of his life again after this cold winter because she is breaking up with him. Although the lyrics of the song are a bit sad, it’s bittersweet because it’s conveyed through such an upbeat song. All of DJ DOC’s voices are perfect for the holiday season so I think many Koreaboo readers will enjoy this song’s exciting beat during the holidays!”
“Christmas Miracle”: “This is such a gorgeous song! Shin Seung Hoon’s voice is so gracious and pure in this lovely 圣诞节 track where he’s confessing to the woman of his dreams, ‘when the world is covered white on Christmas~ when the lights are bright on Christmas~.’ This 2002 song has a surprising English hook, so many international 粉丝 may enjoy it a lot. Kim Jo Han’s featuring in the background makes the song so much 更多 beautiful as well. It’s a track that will keep 你 smiling with happiness–it’s one of those songs 你 want the man of your dreams to sing to 你 on 圣诞节 日 或者 a song you’d like to cuddle up with in your 床, 床上 while drinking a hot mug of hot chocolate.”

Raquel – EXO’s “Christmas Day”
“The perfect romantic 圣诞节 song <3.” link
Eva – INFINITE’s “White Confession (Lately)” and BTOB’s “You Can Cry”
“Lately”: “A song that would make your 心 flutter when 你 listen closely to the lyrics, and feel like you’d want to be in 爱情 and spend the 圣诞节 festive season with someone special. Complementing the smooth lyrics is the concept of the MV, filmed in Tokyo, where INFINITE walked down the streets of unique Japanese shops for presents. Especially, I find the “Merry Christmas” whisper 由 Sungyeol attractive, which was incorporated into the song.”
“You Can Cry”: “A really different 圣诞节 concept song to take on, as they sing about how lonely 圣诞节 can get for those who are still single. The lyrics sing out to me especially, since I’m single as well (sadly), but somehow the song provides me comfort and gives me a warm feeling that I’m not the only one feeling that way. They may not seem like an extremely viral 或者 outstanding group just yet, but 粉丝 who notice them would realize that their vocals, rapping, and entertainment skills make them a well-rounded group, as one can see from the MV.” link & link
