My favorite is O Holy Night, and I adore many versions but especially love Emmy Rossum's rendition, possibly because I first heard it after one of my rewatches of Songcatcher.

It might be because I used to sing, but I tend to love the complex ones. I also love it when someone does something spooky or weird with a song, like how The Bird and The Bee did with Carol of the Bells.

O Holy Night is my favorite too, and I have a special love for Sufjan's version.
