It's the most wonderful time of the year and the best thing is that there's so many ways for little ones to get involved, from putting up decorations, telling cringey cracker jokes, watching family Christmas films, doing a spot of festive baking and taking photos for personalised cards.

There's also loads of Christmas songs for kids that the whole family can enjoy having a boogie to on Christmas day, or learn for an impromptu Christmas show for the grandparents.

And as if you needed another reason to get the karaoke going, learning and recalling the lyrics to songs is a great cognitive exercise for children to improve their memory and brain function.

So, here's our pick of the best festive tunes to get the whole family in the Christmas spirit!

1. When santa got stuck up the chimney

2. I'm a little snowman

3. Jingle bells

4. Santa shark

5. All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

6. We wish you a Merry Christmas

7. Rudolf the red nosed reindeer
