Christmas Party music selection

[DJ_Shop_Around]

Hey guys, got a question about music selection. I have my first Christmas Party corporate event coming up in December. Wanted to know some classic songs I should be playing. I usually stick pretty closely to hip hop, but was looking for an opportunity to branch out as this will be a diverse crowd. Let me know guys, thanks in advance

There is also Now That's What I Call Christmas 2, 3 and 4 which I just now became aware of when looking up that track listing. I'll be getting those too. I haven't looked through all the tracks here, but another Christmas tune I like is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra song Nutrocker. TBH, I don't have any Christmas DJ'ing experience yet, so can't really tell you which of the songs are great for dancing other than from my own guesstimation.
