Central New Yorker’s Top 10 Favorite Christmas Songs
Whether it's 'Silver Bells' or 'Christmas in the Mohawk Valley,' we all have our favorite Christmas songs. These were the most requested songs this year.
We've been playing your favorite holiday hits since a few days before Thanksgiving, and it's obvious that not all our Christmas songs are equal. During Lunch at the Lite Cafe (your weekday request show on Lite 98.7), there are certain songs that are requested on an almost-daily basis. These are the Top 10 most requested songs from Lunch at the Lite Cafe:

The Christmas Shoes
NewSongEvery year, this song is highly-requested, although this year, it's not as popular as it has been. But "Christmas Shoes" is still popular enough to make this list.

The 12 Days of Christmas
The MuppetsWith tons of different versions of this song, we feel it always makes the list, but by different artists. This year, The Muppets' version beat out the rest.

Christmas in the Mohawk Valley
Mark Werchowski"Christmas in the Mohawk Valley" always makes the list. That's no surprise though, because it's a holiday song featuring Central New York.
