AKP STAFF
1.
Show Me Your Love - SEVENTEEN
Seventeen wowed us in 2016 with their rendition of TVXQ and Super Junior's "Show Me Your Love". Get your holiday cheer started the right way by watching their exciting and fun performance of the track! The choreography is exceptionally adorable and will put a huge smile on your face!
2.
Jingle Bells and Feliz Navidad - UP10TION
In an adorable show of aegyo and Christmas-y themed goodness, boy group, UP10TION slayed with a small performance medley of both Jingle Bells and Feliz Navidad in their 2016 M!Countdown Christmas stage. Their festive Santa hats and reindeer ears really make their performance a joy to watch!
3.
Merry Christmas in Advance - LABOUM
Originally by IU, "Merry Christmas in Advance" starts off as a full-blown Christmas ballad, but transforms into an uplifting holiday dance track! The girls of LABOUM all look cute a button in their red and green plaid dresses and mirthful demeanor! We love this LABOUM performance because the vocals are perfectly on point and they nail the IU classic perfectly!
4.
Last Christmas - A PINK
The perennial Christmas classic, "Last Christmas" is a song that's heard pretty much all over the world when the holiday season strikes. From the mall to the radio stations, "Last Christmas" is a season-defining track. In 2015, A PINK did an enchanting cover of this Christmas hit that's stayed in our hearts and earned its place as a must-listen cover every December!
5.
Christmas Day - EXO
EXO has had Christmas hit after Christmas hit, but the most memorable song and performance is their 2013 Music Core performance of "Christmas Day". Clad in red and green plaid and adorable suspenders, the group melted our hearts in their sexy rendition and dance!
6.
All I Want For Christmas Is You - Girls' Generation
In 2011, the fabulous women of Girls' Generation blessed us with an out-of-this-world performance of Mariah Carey's Christmas classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You". Though 2017 has been a hard year on SONEs with the contract termination of three GG members from SM, let this song be a celebration of the girls' accomplishments in year's prior.
7.
Santa Baby - Nine Muses
Among all the classic Christmas tracks lies one sultry song that demands a sassy group in order to successfully do a rendition. Who better to perform "Santa Baby" than Nine Muses? The group put on a hypnotizing performance of the song with PERFECT English execution! They even surprised fans with a special breakdown mid-performance!
8.
First Christmas - Joy and Do Young
Joy of Red Velvet and Do Young of NCT joined forces in a special stage at Inkigayo in 2016 to perform "First Christmas". This lovely Christmas duet showcases both vocalists' abilities to croon and swoon a crowd while absolutely winning our hearts over! We'd love to see more duets between the two of them!
9.
Feliz Navidad - G-FRIEND
With a colorful stage set-up, G-FRIEND killed a cover of "Feliz Navidad" for their 2016 Music Core performance! The group proved that simple is sometimes the perfect method of execution for an exciting and fun-to-watch Christmas show! G-FRIEND showed us that they are the queens of Korean, Spanish, and English with this performance!
10.
Let It Snow - IU & K.Will
In 2013, our favorite vocalists: K. Will and IU joined forces for a magical and sublime production of "Let It Snow" on Music Bank's Christmas special. Different from dancey pop tracks and slow ballads, this jazzy song spiced up the show's lineup and earned a spot as a must-listen every time the season rolls around.
11.
Lonely Christmas - Crayon Pop
With goofy attitudes and huge smiles, the girls of Crayon Pop expressed their love through lavish Christmas outfits and their performance of their original seasonal track, "Lonely Christmas". The aegyo of their performance is probably the best we've ever seen grace a Christmas special stage!
12.
My Grown Up Christmas List - Ailee
Ailee's "My Grown Up Christmas List" is the Christmas RnB song that we've always wanted, but weren't aware we needed. The song is gorgeous in melody and Ailee's powerful and emotional vocals are delicate and incredible. Though the lyrics are English, this song shook up the K-Pop Christmas song scene!
13.
Merry Christmas - TTS
The queens of Christmas K-Pop, TTS, have a number of festive holiday hits, but their most classic ballad is "Merry Christmas". Their 2015 Inkigayo performance showcased the three in gorgeous gowns in a simple vocal-focused stage that highlighted each of their abilities to the maximum. We love our Christmas queens!
14.
Christmas Carol - SHINee ft. KARA
In a medley featuring "Silent Night," "Holy Night," and "Jingle Bell Rock," our beloved SHINee team up with the talented members of KARA to create a great Christmas performance entitled, "Christmas Carol". We will miss you, Jonghyun, may you rest in peace! His performance in this classic Christmas K-Pop performance will be cherished by fans from all over.
In "Winter Songs", K-Pop vocal divas, Krystal and Sulli of f(x), Suzy of miss A, Jiyoung of KARA, and Sohyun of 4minute joined forces for a dynamic group performance. Each individual performed separate definitive Christmas songs and came together at the end for a wonderfully choreographed piece!
16.
This Christmas/Make Love - Big Bang
Nothing like celebrating the holiday season by having the members of Big Bang serenade you! We love the array of people brought to the stage and the vocals of Big Bang got a huge chance to shine on their lovely ballad performance of "This Christmas". Best part? When the members start to give gifts to their lovely VIPs and audience members who attended the recording!
17.
Unfair - EXO
What's cuter than the members of EXO acting mega cute in reindeer antlers and Santa suits? Nothing! EXO's song "Unfair" off their Christmas album is great for dancing and wonderful to get you in a great mood right before you dig into your holiday meal! We love the makeup on Chen's face that makes his nose as bright as Rudolph's!
