Aries have big personalities and they're not afraid to be the life of the party.

"'Jingle Bell Rock'" by Bobby Helms is uptempo, exciting, and fun, which is right up Aries' alley because they're an energetic and dynamic sign," explains Alice Smith, an astrologer at Alice Smith Astrology.

Raquel Rodriguez, astrologer and founder of Your Zodiac, adds that it can get them into the festive spirit with its vibrant rhythm and catchy beat.

Taurus loves the generous aspect of gift-giving, but they can also be a bit materialistic. Since they have a taste for luxurious things, "Santa Baby" by Eartha Kitt is their ideal Christmas song.

"A song that asks Santa for Tiffany's rings and cars fits the vibe of this sign perfectly," says Smith "Presents are the best part of Christmas for Taurus!"

As the social butterfly of the zodiac, Gemini is likely to be constantly running around during the holiday season, from attending endless get-togethers to gift shopping for everyone. So, they need a song that will keep their spirits high.

"Excitable and easily bored Gemini enjoys the happy message of 'Holly Jolly Christmas,'" says Smith.

Known for their complexity and depth, Scorpios can get quite sentimental about what the end of the year means. Although it's not the most upbeat song on the list, "Last Christmas" by Wham! is certainly one of the most thought-provoking, which is why it resonates with this sign.

"They will always honor the darker aspects of the season as well as the light, so 'Last Christmas' is a song that gives them room to reminisce and recall lost love," explains Smith.

Smith notes that as the workaholics of the zodiac, Capricorns are the ones who need to make an effort to be home at Christmas.

"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee is just what they need to get in the holiday spirit, from drinking eggnog with their friends to getting a little sentimental with family.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" by John Lennon and Yoko Ono

As the eccentrics of the zodiac, Aquarians aren't going to listen to any old Christmas song. However, "Happy Xmas (War is Over)"  by John Lennon and Yoko Ono easily aligns with this air sign's humanitarian nature.

Aquarius may find it difficult to celebrate when they know other people are suffering, but Rodriguez says this song calls for a better world. And its innovative musical style reflects their love for progressive ideas and social change.

Pisces: "Santa Tell Me" by Ariana Grande

With Pisces' whimsical tendencies and thoughtful nature, it's no surprise that they love the holiday season. But Rodriguez says they should listen to a Christmas carol that reflects their introspective and emotional nature.

"Santa Tell Me" by Ariana Grande gets them thinking about what's working and what needs to get left behind in the New Year. Plus, the catchy tune and lyrics will help them get their minds off things.
