‘Santa Tell Me’ by Ariana Grande

Let Ariana be your Mariah this Christmas

Ariana Grande’s Santa Tell Me almost rivals Mariah Carey’s Christmas anthem All I Want For Christmas Is You, at least when it comes to popularity. The song was a part of Grande’s 2014 EP Christmas Kisses and reached the top 10 list in more than 15 countries. The spirited Christmas track has some R&B influences and a really catchy chorus, which makes it a great holiday song. 

Grande’s vocal runs were widely applauded in the single and the hopeful, relatable lyrics also remain a big draw. The lyrics go like, “Santa, tell me if you're really there/ Don't make me fall in love again/ If he won't be here next year/ Santa, tell me if he really cares/ 'Cause I can't give it all away.” The music video features Ariana having a pyjama party with her BFFs on Christmas morning and the festive video has clocked in a whopping 247 million views on YouTube.
