German Christmas songs for music bingo
Mariah and Wham! play everywhere anyway. This playlist is for the German Christmas party where grandma, the trainees and the boss should all know the songs: Rolf Zuckowski's In der Weihnachtsbäckerei, Stille Nacht and O du fröhliche from Helene Fischer's album Weihnachten, Heintje's O Tannenbaum, Roy Black's Leise rieselt der Schnee, plus Christmas Schlager from Wolfgang Petry, Peter Alexander and Andrea Berg, and Weihnachtsmann vom Dach by Die Toten Hosen (as Die Roten Rosen). Paste it into Bingofy, print the cards, grab a Glühwein.

Why this order
The songs every German recognizes in three seconds come first, then carols and Schlager alternate so it never turns into a church service. Classics like Tochter Zion, Es ist ein Ros entsprungen and Maria durch ein Dornwald ging come later, sung by the Thomanerchor and the Dresdner Kreuzchor.
Which recordings
The well-known originals, no karaoke or budget compilations: Rolf Zuckowski's own recordings from Winterkinder, Helene Fischer, Heintje, Roy Black, Peter Alexander, Udo Jürgens, Wolfgang Petry, Roland Kaiser, Andrea Berg, Wincent Weiss, Andreas Gabalier, plus Ella Endlich's Küss mich, halt mich, lieb mich from Three Wishes for Cinderella. No artist appears more than three times.
Why only 40 songs?
After about 40 songs, all that's left are carols hardly anyone remembers or German covers of English hits. A 60-song version would be padded, so there isn't one. 40 is enough for 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 cards. For a big office party, play a second round with our international Christmas playlist.
