This zip file has the songs I’ve worked up for Christmas 2023. There is a zip file for each song containing Chords & Lyrics, MIDI source file (in almost, but not all song file as well as the songs. I’ve also included the BeatBuddy (BB) folder with the songs. The song titles prefixed with FO have outro fade-outs. With the exception of Fairytale of New York, all song files include 3 one-press song versions. The Fairytale of New York has an intro in 77 bpm and the main part appears as a loop with a bpm of 120 and I’ve left enough space at the end of loop to easily double-tap the pedal to end the song.
I’m including a link to the previous compilation of Christmas songs that I’ve posted and updated over the years. It contains many more songs:

@Persist, thanks for this. I downloaded the zip file for “Christmas songs updated 2025 .zip”. from this forum. figuring out how to pull the .sng files and transfer them to the BBOM and than to the BB2 was a great learning experience. I even made a new folder in the BB 2 titled simply. persist. I am noticing there may be different Christmas songs in your 2023.zip update and possibly more on your 2017.zip. I’ll download those two and see. With your 2025 update I did notice that White Christmas has only a V8 .sng file and it only plays the rim shots in the beginning. There are midi notes to the song in the BBOM but the rest of the song plays out with no drums. also “Carol of the Bells” performs differently on the BB2 than the other songs in the collection. Pressing the left switch.(intro) button unlike the other songs doesn’t start the song but pressing the right switch.(part 1) does play the song.
Thanks for all your contributions to this form. You are a great help for the community.
Ok thank you I didn’t see that thread you made, only the one you posted about the 2025update. There is a lot of great information in that thread. For Carol of the Bells.V6, pressing left button(intro) does start the tracker. (With no audio) The right button changes from (Part 1), to (Pause). Clicking the right button when it says (Pause), turns the left button to (Fill) and the right button to (Unpause). After that… if you then click the left button (Fill), it starts this song with audio. The right button Pauses and Unpauses and the left button (Fill) pressed twice moves the song to outro like normal. I didn’t change any settings on the BB2, all I did was download the file. I did find your V2 .sng of that song and that works like all the others. It’s all no big deal. I just noticed it and mentioned it.
