'Glee' Christmas Songs Covers Playlist: 'Jingle Bell Rock,' 'Feliz Navidad,' MORE!

Christmas is already here, so that means the perennial Christmas Carols are blasting on everyone's speakers again.

While others seemed to be enjoying the original songs from the original artists, the pop culture phenomenon "Glee" has given out a number of Christmas hits that is almost as good as the original version.

Here are some of our picks for the "Glee" Christmas Songs Covers Playlist:

"Jingle Bell Rock" by Chord Overstreet

The first song on the list is an upbeat Christmas classic. Performed by Chord Overstreet on the show's fourth season on its tenth episode, "Glee, Actually." Overstreet's character Sam Evans is worrying at the impending "end of the world," but still finds the time to reassure his girlfriend, Heather Morris' character Brittany S. Pierce that at least they had each other up until the very end.

"Extraordinary Merry Christmas" by Darren Criss, Lea Michele

Also the title of the show's second Christmas episode, "Extraordinary Merry Christmas," is actually an original written by Criss and Michele for the show. The two performed the song in the choir room, with the whole New Directions jamming it out. The duet among the club's greatest performers is one to stream to get that happy Christmas vibe!

"Feliz Navidad" by Kevin McHale

Featured on the fourth season of the show, McHale's rendition of "Feliz Navidad" was quite a special one. This is because in this performance, McHale, who is originally a dancer, but because of his character, is confined to a wheelchair, had a fever dream where he is well and can dance freely. In the fever dream dance sequence, McHale's vocals reminded a now deformed New Directions that he is indeed the glue that holds the club together.

Also featured on the show's fourth season Christmas episode, Melissa Benoist, who plays Marley Rose, performed a poignant and moving rendition of the Davies Gilbert seasonal hit. Evoking all her feelings in a short but meaningful acapella ballad to her mother, Benoist's angelic voice is perfect for the season!

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Amber Riley

Of course, Mariah Carey's iconic song will be performed on "Glee," and no one can give it justice than Amber Riley herself. The track was actually the opening song of the show's second Christmas episode on Season Three. It shows Riley's character Mercedes Jones' vocal chops as she belts out the much-beloved song. It surely is one of the best covers of the song!
