The holiday season is officially here, and for ARMY worldwide, that means one thing: diving deep into the festive and heartwarming discography of BTS. As of December 20, 2025, the group's collection of Christmas and winter-themed tracks continues to grow, offering everything from rare early covers to chart-topping solo originals. This ultimate guide compiles every essential BTS holiday song—both group and solo—ensuring your 2025 Christmas playlist is filled with the unique charm, vocal power, and emotional depth that only Jin, SUGA, j-hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook can deliver.

Far from just a few seasonal releases, BTS and its members have a rich history of gifting fans with special holiday music. These tracks are often released as "presents" to the fandom, known as ARMY, reflecting their deep, personal connection. From V's recent, highly successful 2024 winter releases to the nostalgic covers from their trainee days, these songs are essential listening for a perfect K-Pop Christmas.

The Latest & Hottest: BTS Solo Christmas Songs That Defined 2024

The most recent and high-profile additions to the BTS holiday catalog come from the members' solo work, proving their individual power even during their period of focused individual activities. The 2024 holiday season, in particular, was dominated by V's unique musical offerings, cementing his status as a king of winter tracks.

  • V - "Winter Ahead" (2024): This track stands out as one of the freshest holiday entries. Released in late 2024, "Winter Ahead" was an immediate critical success, blending V's signature baritone with a cozy, melancholic winter sound. The song was so well-received that it landed on Billboard’s prestigious "25 Best New Christmas Songs of 2024" list, marking a significant milestone for a K-Pop idol’s original holiday song.
  • V - "White Christmas (with Bing Crosby)" (2024): In a truly unprecedented collaboration, V partnered with the Bing Crosby Estate to release a reimagined version of the iconic classic, "White Christmas," in December 2024. This collaboration introduced a timeless American holiday standard to a new global generation, showcasing V’s smooth, soulful vocals and bridging decades of musical history.
  • Jimin - "Christmas Love" (2020): Released as a surprise gift to ARMY on Christmas Eve, "Christmas Love" is a bright, cheerful pop song that captures the pure joy and excitement of the holiday season through the eyes of a child. It remains one of Jimin's most beloved solo tracks, known for its sweet melody and heartwarming lyrics.
  • V - "Christmas Tree" (2021): While technically a K-Drama OST for the series Our Beloved Summer, this track became a global holiday staple. V's "Christmas Tree" broke several records, becoming the most streamed K-OST on Spotify and the first Korean solo song to achieve major chart success on the Billboard Hot 100, demonstrating its universal appeal far beyond the drama's storyline.

The Nostalgic Core: Essential BTS Group & Unit Winter Tracks

Before the solo originals, BTS built their holiday reputation on heartfelt covers, special remixes, and original tracks that capture the essence of their early years and their bond with the fandom. These songs are crucial for any ARMY seeking a full-spectrum BTS Christmas.

The Official Group Releases & Remixes

While the group has not released a full, dedicated Christmas album, their official discography contains several essential holiday-themed tracks and remixes:

  • "Butter (Holiday Remix)" (2021): This is perhaps the most widely known official group holiday release. The remix of their smash hit "Butter" added a festive, jazzy flair complete with jingle bells and a cozy, wintery vibe, perfect for a modern holiday party.
  • "Life Goes On (Holiday Version)" (2020): A special version of the title track from the BE album, this rendition was a comforting and warm gift to fans during a challenging year, reinforcing the song's message of hope and perseverance.
  • "A Typical Idol's Christmas" (2013): Known in Korean as "흔한 아이돌의 크리스마스," this is a nostalgic gem from their trainee days. The song is an adaptation of Justin Bieber’s "Only Thing I Ever Get For Christmas," featuring the members' raw, youthful vocals and rap, offering a glimpse into their humble beginnings.
  • Jin - "Awake (Christmas Ver.)" (2016): Jin gifted fans with a special, slightly rearranged version of his solo song "Awake" from the Wings album. This version, released in the spirit of the holidays, added a gentle, festive touch to the already emotional track.

Jimin & Jungkook's Iconic Holiday Duets

The vocal line's shared love for holiday music has led to some fan-favorite duets, showcasing their harmonious chemistry:

  • Jimin & Jungkook - "Christmas Day" (2014): This is a classic BTS holiday track. "Christmas Day" is an adapted cover of Justin Bieber’s "Mistletoe," with new Korean lyrics written by RM. It’s a sweet, playful duet that has become a staple of the K-Pop Christmas canon.
  • Jungkook - "Oh Holy Night" (2016): While not a duet, Jungkook's powerful and soulful cover of the traditional Christmas carol "Oh Holy Night" is an essential vocal performance. Released as a surprise V Live gift, it highlights his incredible range and emotive delivery.

The Hidden Gems: Rare Covers and Live Holiday Performances

To achieve true topical authority on "BTS Christmas songs," one must look beyond the official releases and explore the rare live performances and special content that ARMY treasures. These moments often feature unique unit pairings and fun, one-time covers.

2019 SBS Gayo Daejun Christmas Carol Medley

One of the most memorable live holiday performances was the Christmas Carol Medley at the 2019 SBS Gayo Daejun, where the members split into units to perform classic carols with a unique BTS twist.

  • RM & Jimin - "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town": A charismatic and playful rendition.
  • SUGA & V - "Jingle Bell Rock": A surprisingly smooth and fun take on the iconic track.
  • Jin & j-hope - "Feliz Navidad": A high-energy performance that brought a Latin flair to the stage.
  • Jungkook - "Oh Holy Night": A reprise of his powerful solo cover, demonstrating his vocal prowess.

The Winter Tracks That Feel Like Christmas

Beyond explicit "Christmas" songs, several winter-themed tracks from the BTS discography are essential for a complete holiday playlist. These songs capture the feeling of cold weather, introspection, and cozy comfort:

  • V & RM - "4 O'Clock" (2017): A beautiful, atmospheric track that captures the quiet, contemplative mood of a cold winter night.
  • "Spring Day" (2017): While not a holiday song, its themes of longing, memory, and the turning of seasons make it a perfect, emotional winter listen.
  • "A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone" (2017): The perfect companion track to "Spring Day," offering a message of hope and togetherness that resonates deeply with the spirit of the holidays.
  • "Crystal Snow" (2017): A Japanese single that is explicitly winter-themed, featuring stunning high notes and a beautiful, sweeping melody about a love as pure as the first snow.

Whether you're looking for the newest Billboard-charting hits like V's "Winter Ahead," the nostalgic charm of "Christmas Day," or a comprehensive list of all the rare covers and winter B-sides, the BTS holiday discography provides a rich, emotional soundtrack for your 2025 holiday season. The tradition of gifting music to ARMY continues to make their winter tracks some of the most anticipated and beloved releases each year.
