Originally recorded by Gene Autry And The Cass County Boys in 1950 as a follow-up to the previous year’s hit Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty The Snowman - as well as spawning an animated short in 1954 - is another oft-covered standard in festive music. They don’t come much better than the Jackson 5’s stomping Motown version...

"Frosty The Snowman - The Ronettes. Utterly magnificent, totally over the top, and Ronnie's smoking vocals. The Pogues don't amount to one of her false eyelashes." (Thanks, scrumhalf)
