Christmas hymns

Seasonal religious music

Christmas hymns are religious songs celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, sung in churches and homes during the Christmas season.

They range from ancient Latin chants to familiar congregational songs like "O Come, All Ye Faithful" and "Hark!

The Herald Angels Sing." Christmas hymns overlap with Christmas carols, though hymns tend toward the more formal and devotional.
