So I'm DJing a X-mas party for a large firm on Friday. Any good upbeat x-mas songs to open the night up with to get people dancing on the dance floor?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Have Yourself A Tractors Christmas.

Several years ago, the Tractors released a Christmas album. The Tractors are best known for their floor filler hit Baby Likes To Rock It.

The Christmas CD contains a holiday version of the hit entitled Santa Claus Is Comin' (In a Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train). Also on this dics are The Santa Claus Boogie, Rockin' This Christmas, Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy and other uptempo hits.

I recommend it. :)

Also, Christmas Time's a Comin' By Sammy Kershaw
Honky Tonk Christmas by Alan Jackson
And the ever-popular The Chipmunk Song.
 
I've never had anyone dance to Christmas music, but if they did I would hope that it would be to something like:

The Christmas Twist by Syd Straw :sqbiggrin:

You must be kidding! There are a lot of danceable Christmas music including some waltzes.
 
Houston no one in my yrs has actually danced to any. I do like to get into the upbeat with a Cindy Lauper rendition of a certain Christmas classic.
 
same here. No dancing to christmas songs. typically, x-mas parties are christmas music during dinner/cocktail and regular dance stuff later.

Well I guess Imust be the Pied Piper to my guests at gigs and clubs! I get folks to dance lots of Christmas Tunes, fast and slow. Its all in what you pick to play and when you play it. I recently posted this but here are some of the favorites.

SLOW:
Silent Night by The Temptations
Have Yourself a Merry Christmas By The Pretenders
Pretty Paper by Randy Travis
Thats What I Want For Christmas by Nancy Wilson

FAST
Daddy Don't Get Drunk This Christmas by Alan Jackson

You should also be mixing the music during dinner hour. This is the time to play some Classical Music plus Jazz. Try John Coltrane's "Favorite Things".
A great Jazz Christmas Album on the GRP label is "A GRP Christmas Collection".
Amazon.com: GRP Christmas Collection 1: Various Artists: Music@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21N1F4HWT3L.@@AMEPARAM@@21N1F4HWT3L That is a must have CD for your library!
If you are playing the regular radio Christmas music that Grandma used to sing its no wonder the guests get tired of the music after 12.5 mins! Sheesh!
