With the way this version of the Christmas fave turns into a pop-rock shaker makes Miley the perfect muse to perform it.

Fellow "X Factor" judge and one-time Disney princess Britney Spears makes for a PERFECT pop song, and it doesn’t even matter that this one is only played during this time of year. IT’S THAT GOOD.

 

 

 

“Mistletoe” – Justin Bieber

Our main man Justin Bieber quite literally REINVENTED modern Christmas music with last year’s Under the Mistletoe album, making it a record that people will play endlessly during the holidays for years to come.
