#22: Winter Wonderland by Fleming and John (1996)/Vanessa Hudgens (2009)

Written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and Richard B. Smith.

I expect a little controversy with my number 22 favorite Christmas song(s) of all time especially with much more popular versions of this song done by artists such as Karen Carpenter, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Eurythmics, Elvis Presley, Johnny Mathis, Ozzy Osbourne, Dolly Parton, Frank Sinatra, James Taylor, Dean Martin, and Harry Connick Jr.

Fleming and John Misty Mountain Winter Wonderland

The musical husband and wife team called Fleming and John take this classic Christmas song and change the tune to Led Zeppelin's Misty Mountain Hop and instantly made the most unorthodox yet completely satisfying renditions of Bernard and Smith's Christmas tune I have ever heard

Vanessa Hudgens Winter Wonderland

Once again, not the most well know version of this song; however, the Vanessa Hudgens version from the Christmas album "A Very Special Christmas 7" brings a sexiness to that had previously been missing.

The lyrics "In the meadow we can build a snowman and pretend that he is parson brown. He'll say are you married we'll say no man, but you can do the job when you're in town" screams sexy...doesn't it?
