I absolutely love this song. Does anyone have a favorite version of it? I don't really have a favorite version, but i think that this girl does a REALLY good job on it. It's a shame that she's not famous because i would totally buy her version of the song.

shareDonny Hathaway originally recorded "This Christmas". Here's a soundbite of it: http://mfile3.akamai.com/14123/wm2/muze.download.akamai.com/2890/us/us wm2/_!/726/108726_1_11.asx?auth=daEdVcAb6bXdwdPb8bQcedfaNaMbSbEd2bW-bh Rkp9-Ci-hfgck&aifp=1234&obj=v40524
Ashanti also does a good job.

There used to be a time where i loved this song. But now that my brother sings it every night, i hate it.
YOU CAN SAY IT TO MY FACE!
BUT MY BIG A$$ EARS WONT BE LISTENIN
Then the oh so reliable wikipedia forgot NSYNC. Sad to reply with this band, but when I was a kid there was a cd that came out when they and Christina Aguilera were big that was a christmas song cover cd.
shareThe first time I heard it was by Joe and that when it became my fav christmas song
shareYes! It's MY favorite Christmas song! =)
shareI love this song. It brings back good times from my childhood. "Hand all the mistletoe, I'm going to get to know you better. This Christmas..." such a good song!
shareThe person who sang it in the movie ruined the song. it sucked. Not a bad song if someone else sings it.

I am a musician and a trained vocalist. The person who sang that song in the movie can't sing. Sounded like a wolf in heat. You must be tone deaf to think that the song sounded good in the movie. The guy should go back to work at Taco Bell.
shareyes i love chris brown's..
shareIt's a good song no matter who is singing it, but the original version by Donny Hathaway is my favorite. It's one of my all time favorite Christmas songs.
shareIt's definitely one of my favorite Christmas songs. I don't think I've ever heard a version of it I dislike. Chicago's version is one of my favorites.
