Aries is the loud and outrageous firecracker of the zodiac, preferring to lead the charge whenever possible. You break out the Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving because you can't wait to start celebrating. And while you do appreciate some traditions, your favorite part of the season is finding new ways to make the holidays exciting.

So, it's only fitting that someone with so much enthusiasm gets paired with one of the most popular Christmas songs of our generation, sung by fellow trendsetter and Aries, Mariah Carey. You'll have a blast rocking out with your loved ones and screaming the lyrics from the top of your lungs as you make new memories that will last a lifetime.

Taurus is known for having it all together when the holidays come around. Dedicated and hardworking, you're the kind of careful planner who has your Christmas list ready well before the season, and your presents are probably wrapped and under the tree before the first snowfall.

Yes, you like the generous aspect of gift-giving, but you're also a bit materialistic, which is why your ideal Christmas song croons about Santa bringing yachts and convertibles. Remember, you spend so much time spreading cheer for everyone else that it's okay to fantasize about what you want this year, too.
