Be honest. How many times have you heard Mariah Carey\u2019s \u201cAll I want for Christmas\u201d and rolled your eyes\u2026. Then found yourself jamming out and singing along to it?! We\u2019re all guilty of it!<\/p>\n

There are plenty of Christmas songs out there that people just love to hate. Sometimes it\u2019s not even the songs themselves that people hate, instead it\u2019s the artist who is covering the original song that ruins it for everyone!<\/p>\n

USA TODAY compiled a list of the worst offenders,<\/a> and while it\u2019s highly subjective, I am here to unwrap the \u201cgifts\u201d nobody asked for. Let\u2019s see if you agree with the list!<\/p>\n

The Top 10 Christmas Songs We Love To Hate:<\/p>\n

Love them or hate them, these songs are here to stay kind of like fruitcake.<\/p>\n

10. NSYNC \u2013 \u201cI Never Knew the Meaning of Christmas\u201d<\/p>\n

According to NSYNC, Christmas isn\u2019t about family, gifts, or tradition it\u2019s about finding a girlfriend. Nothing screams holiday spirit like belting out, \u201cGirl, you made me finally see!\u201d<\/p>\n

9. Neil Diamond \u2013 \u201cCherry Cherry Christmas\u201d<\/p>\n

Take Neil Diamond\u2019s biggest hits, mix in holiday cheer, and this marketing experiment was born. It\u2019s a hard pass for anyone who isn\u2019t a die-hard fan.<\/p>\n

8. The Killers \u2013 \u201cDon\u2019t Shoot Me Santa\u201d<\/p>\n

This bizarre \u201cconversation\u201d between Santa and Brandon Flowers escalates into a chaotic desert showdown. Satire? Maybe. Cringe-worthy? Definitely.<\/p>\n

7. The Pussycat Dolls \u2013 \u201cSanta Baby\u201d<\/p>\n

Eartha Kitt did it best, Madonna made it quirky, but the Dolls\u2019 rendition? It\u2019s more karaoke fail than sultry classic.<\/p>\n

6. Lou Monte \u2013 \u201cDominick the Donkey\u201d<\/p>\n

An Italian Christmas donkey \u201cla-la-la\u201ds its way through this clunky, Brooklyn-made earworm.<\/p>\n

\"CANVA\"\/5. New Kids on the Block \u2013 \u201cFunky Funky Xmas\u201d<\/p>\n

The boy band raps awkwardly over a beat that\u2019s about as funky as stale fruitcake.<\/p>\n

4. Jessica & Ashlee Simpson \u2013 \u201cThe Little Drummer Boy\u201d<\/p>\n

Their syrupy vocals and misplaced horns turned this classic into a hot mess.<\/p>\n

3. NewSong \u2013 \u201cThe Christmas Shoes\u201d<\/p>\n

We get it, it\u2019s emotional, but did anyone ask for a depressing ballad about dying moms and shoes?! MY FEMALE EMOTIONS CAN\u2019T HANDLE THIS!<\/p>\n

2. Elmo & Patsy \u2013 \u201cGrandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer\u201d<\/p>\n

Dark humor and bad singing combine for a novelty song that overstayed its welcome.<\/p>\n

1. Alvin & the Chipmunks \u2013 \u201cThe Chipmunk Song\u201d<\/p>\n

If nails on a chalkboard had a holiday remix, it would sound like this.<\/p>\n
