Although Mexico celebrates the winter holidays in a way that’s similar to other countries in the western world, it seems to have a surprisingly low number of Christmas songs. However, that’s not to say there are no holiday tunes that come from Mexico. They can be a bit difficult to find but look around long enough and you’ll definitely come across some good Mexican Christmas songs that are just perfect for your holiday playlist. Here are some of our favorites:
Part 1: Top 10 Best Mexican Christmas Songs
Juan Gabriel – 24 de Diciembre
What better way to start our list that with a Mexican Christmas song that’s all about the 24th of December, aka Christmas Eve. The song may sound a bit unusual at first as it’s unlike any traditional Christmas carol but give it a chance because you’ll warm up to it in no time.
Los Peces En El Rio
This is a great traditional Mexican carol that literally translates to “The Fish in the River” and is not very well known outside the country. The song is religious in nature and focuses on the Virgin Mary as she prepares to give birth to baby Jesus.
Grupo Kual – Rumba en Navidad
With a word like rumba in the very title, it should come to no surprise that this is one of the most danceable Mexican Christmas songs on this list. Although the lyrics are actually pretty sad, there’s no denying that this holiday tune begs you to hit the dance floor.
Jose Alfredo Jimenez – Amarga Navidad
We promise we’re not trying to bring you down but we just had to list this one even if it is another sad song (even sadder than the previous one actually). Amarga Navidad translates to bitter Christmas and is one of the most popular Mexican holiday songs of all time so we would be remiss not to include it.
Campana Sobre Campana
Literally translating to “Bell Over Bell”, the song is more commonly known outside of Mexico as “The Bells of Bethlehem.” As I’m sure you’ve already guessed, this is another religious Mexican Christmas song that’s considered a traditional carol.
La Rama
A very interesting traditional Mexican Christmas song that’s usually performed in the region of Veracruz to celebrate a special event known as Los Posadas.
Mi Burrito Sabanero
Despite its name, the song isn’t about burritos (the food) as the word also means donkey in Spanish. The song is told from the perspective of one of the three mages who travels to Bethlehem alongside his trusted donkey.
Javier Solis – Regalo de Reyes
Regalo de Reyes (Present of Kings) is a song about, unsurprisingly, the three mages (or three kings) who traveled to Bethlehem bearing gifts for Jesus Christ. The song is most often performed during El Dia de Los Reyes Magos (Day of the Mage Kings), which is a very special winter holiday in Spain and across all Latin America.
Eydie Gorme y Los Panchos – Navidad y Ano Nuevo
This song (which translates to Christmas and New Year) comes from a very special album that’s all about the winter holidays. There are plenty of gems on that album but Navidad y Ano Nuevo is often considered the best of the bunch.
Ramon Ayala – Deseo de Navidad
The opening and ending of this famous Mexican Christmas song sound suspiciously similar to the Jingle Bells tune we all know all love. Aside from that, however, Deseo the Navidad (Christmas Desire) is actually a pretty sad song about a man missing his departed wife.
