As the festive season envelops us in its warm embrace, there’s nothing quite like the enchanting melodies of OPM (Original Pilipino Music) Christmas songs to amplify the joy and merriment in the air. Crafting a personal list of top OPM Christmas songs is a heartwarming endeavor, intertwining cherished memories with soulful tunes that have become synonymous with Filipino holiday celebrations.
Each song on this list is a musical testament to the unique blend of tradition, culture, and heartfelt emotions that make Christmas in the Philippines a truly magical and harmonious experience — I’m going away with the usual “Christmas in Our Hearts” and stuff. This collection encapsulates the spirit of the season, weaving a melodic tapestry that resonates with the warmth and unity inherent in every Filipino Christmas celebration.
Here’s my Top 5 in no particular order:
Emanuel (Bukas Palad Music Ministry)
Tuloy Na Tuloy Pa Rin Ang Pasko (APO Hiking Society)
Munting Sanggol (Ryan Cayabyab + Ryan Cayabyab Singers)
Kumukutikutitap (Joey Albert)
Ikaw ang Aking Pasko (VST & Company)
Hope you like them. What’s on your list?
