Professional Santas have weighed in on their favorite festive tunes – and those that send them into raptures or despair. For Paul Fessi, also known as "Green Santa," Eartha Kitt's sultry version of "Santa Baby" gets the adults moving. On the other hand, Arnold Warneken AKA Green Santa finds himself driven mad by Spike Jones' 1948 hit "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth."
Meanwhile, Cleve Freckleton AKA Rasta Claus has created his own unique character to bring joy to schools for kids with special educational needs. His favorite festive songs – Baby It's Cold Outside, Winter Wonderland and When a Child Is Born – may not directly mention Christmas but are undeniably Christmassy.
However, the feeling isn't reciprocal with Keith Leech, who feels that Donny Osmond's Christmas tunes can be a bit too much. The overplayed "If You Hear Any of Them Too Often, They Drive You Nuts" sentiment is echoed by Simon Anthony, who also prefers Prokofiev's Sleigh Ride to the more bombastic festive fare.
The power of music to evoke emotions was highlighted by Nigel Harvey AKA Santa Himself, who experienced a profound moment with a hospital patient. His favorite song, Jona Lewie's "Stop the Cavalry," is a heartfelt plea to end war – a sentiment that resonates deeply.
As the festive season approaches, these professional Santas are reminded of what truly matters: spreading joy and cheer. Their love for music may vary, but their dedication to bringing happiness to others remains unwavering.

its like he's stuck on repeat in his green suit 
anyways gotta love cleve freckleton aka rasta claus for creating his own character to bring joy to kids with special needs, that's so cool 
and nigel harvey aka santa himself is just a reminder that music can really move us especially during the holidays, jona lewie's "stop the cavalry" still gives me chills 
and it's pretty funny how some of 'em get driven crazy by certain songs 
but Arnold Warneken goes bonkers at Spike Jones' "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" 
. Meanwhile, Rasta Claus has a whole new vibe goin on with his own character and fave tunes like Winter Wonderland 
.
, especially when it comes to spreading joy & cheer during the holidays 
. Like Nigel Harvey's story about connectin' with a hospital patient over Jona Lewie's "Stop the Cavalry"

️!
i mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned holiday playlist?! from the sultry vibes of Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby" to the heartwarming classics like Prokofiev's Sleigh Ride and Jona Lewie's "Stop the Cavalry", there's something for everyone. and can we talk about Cleve Freckleton AKA Rasta Claus, spreading joy to schools with his own unique character?! 
that's the true meaning of the season! 
it's amazing how music can connect us all, even in hospitals or schools for kids with special needs. and don't get me wrong, i love sasha cooper's "mistletoe" as much as the next person 
his Christmas tunes are just too much... I mean, who needs that many annoying versions of "Jingle Bell Rock"? 
Simon Anthony is right though, Prokofiev's Sleigh Ride is a game changer, it's like a symphony of festive feels without all the cheesy holiday vibes
