discoveredinaljI've created a Spotify playlist containing all of the Christmas and otherwise seasonal songs that reached the top 10 on the UK charts between 1975 (Bodie and Doyle are paired) and 1984 (ten years later).

It wasn't entirely easy to tell which songs charted because of the time of year, but I did my best. Let me know if you see that I left anything out. I've included the Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood even though the band says it was not intended as a Christmas song, since I know people treat it as one.
ETA: Also, I forgot to say that there were two hits that would have been part of the list but were unavailable on Spotify: Renta Santa (1975) and Bionic Santa (1976) both by Chris Hill. They are more short musical sketches than songs.
