10 Fun Christmas Songs for Toddlers & Preschoolers
I love Christmas carols and songs. Much to my husband’s dismay, our house is often filled with the happy sound of holiday tunes (and my accompanying singing voice!) from at least November first. The music of Christmas truly lifts your spirits, making you happy and excited for the holiday season…and this doesn’t just apply to adults. Christmas carols and songs are fabulous for lifting the spirits of kids too – which leads us to this fun collection of Christmas songs for toddlers and preschoolers.
The songs included here are a mix of traditional and newer Christmas songs and carols. Each is paired with a YouTube video. I spent hours scouring YT for the best video to match each song. I was looking for a video that was fun for a young child to watch with clear lyrics and a good tempo – not too fast or too slow.
