Sometimes Lady Gaga’s Christmas music showcases her jazz side, like with her version of “Winter Wonderland.” Other times, this Grammy Award-winning artist explores her love for pop, like with the 2009 release, “Christmas Tree.” Here’s what we know about some of Lady Gaga’s best Christmas songs.
She was born this way. Lady Gaga is the Academy Award-winning actor and songwriter behind A Star is Born. She earned Grammy Awards in categories like Pop Vocal Album, Best Music Video, Best Song Written for Visual Media, and Best Pop Solo Performance.
Outside of her pop and jazz stardom, Lady Gaga sometimes shares her love for the holiday season.
“Traditionally, I decorate my tree with the album or singles I have written,” the “Bad Romance” singer said in 2018, according to Lady Gaga Media. “This year, it will be with CDs of A Star is Born. Apart from that, I love to cook. Gaga’s tomato sauce is to die for. And the wine I serve would revive the taste buds of a corpse!”
In addition to creating songs like “Rain on Me” and “Born This Way,” Lady Gaga released several Christmas-related songs. She debuted “Christmas Tree” with Space Cowboy in 2008.
With unique lyrics, this is one of Lady Gaga’s most popular holiday releases, currently having over 8 million plays on the music platform, Spotify.
In 2011, Lady Gaga recorded her live version of the iconic holiday song, “White Christmas.” After noting how short the song is, this artist even added a second verse to the Christmas classic. The track currently has over 5 million Spotify plays, the most of any song from the A Very Gaga Thanksgiving collection.
In conjunction with their jazz album Cheek to Cheek, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett released their versions of the song “Winter Wonderland,” earning over 25 million Spotify plays. For one campaign with Barnes & Noble, these artists performed “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.”
For Christmas in Rockefeller Center 2014, the duo performed a live version of “Winter Wonderland.” With an H&M advertising campaign, they performed the track popularized by Ella Fitzgerald, “It Don’t Mean a Thing.”
