All of 'em. But mostly any "funk"-ed up version of a classic. Standouts include Little Drummer Boy. Aw hell, the original should be shelved until the next millennium.
The chipmunks can die a slow silent death into the next year starting with a quick cutting of there vocal cords. Hell ya. Merry Christmas, happy holiday, for all. If your having a bad time call someone, people do care.
The 12 Days of Christmas, by far. It's bad enough that it's not that good of a song to begin with, but it's barely even a song at all; it's just the same single lyric repeated 12 times, usually sounding as if it was literally copy/pasted. When parodies like The Twelve Pains of Christmas are pretty much objectively better than the song they're parodying, there's something wrong.
I'm with @WilhelmScreamer -- Baby It's Cold Outside. It has replaced "Santa Baby" this year as my #1 station-turner. But there were several songs I did not hear at all this year. All the radio stations seemed to be playing mostly classics this year -- not that I am complaining. But I missed The Carpenters' Merry Christmas Darling (go ahead and make fun -- I like it). Also didn't hear Michael Buble's Cold December Night, my daughter's favorite. Heard that one ad nauseam last year, and not once this year.
I second Christmas shoes. Cripes what a terrible Christmas song! Like I need a depressing song at Christmas. I can't wait for the sequel, "Christmas Leash." It's about a little girl buying a special leash for her doggie to take one last walk before he takes his "forever nap."
Actually I just looked up the lyrics to that Christmas shoes song since I've never heard it before and it sounds pretty awful. I can just imagine the WTF expression on that frail old lady's face when that stupid kid walks in with some friggin' shoes right as she's about to die. And then finds out he spent all his money on them too. Wow. What an idiot. I mean she's obviously not going anywhere, what does she need shoes for? She probably can't even get out of bed to put them on in the first place if she's that sick. OR, she dies while he's off screwing around at the store and she and his father are wondering where the hell he is. Nice.
Andy Williams "The Holiday Season" is the all time worst. Feels like some producer demanded something that was both schmaltzy and made up on the spot. Can't go into a Home Depot in December without being assaulted by it - although the other day it was followed by "Just What I Needed" by The Cars, so maybe the Muzak programmer agrees with me. Meh!
Okay, not that I actually "heard" this one anywhere but in my head, but I will be glad to have this one gone. My father got the original vinyl for my mom as a joke one year (when I was a child) and she loved it and played it. A lot. I hated it. Still do. Even though it's just an earworm. I gladly share this with you.

@PocketBrain I was going to say exactly these things. Mehrumpumpumpum
12 Days of Christmas. I hope I never hear that again
@kevin8er And ANY song sung by a cat or a dog!
@kevin8er what about Bob and Doug Mackenzie's version, eh, hoser?
Monster Mash. I know it's two months late, but I really dislike the song. A lot.

Hey Santa.
Please, never again play this song.
@conandlibrarian I actually somehow evaded hearing that one this year. Until now.
@katbyter i think this is the first time I've EVER heard that song.... and yes, i hope it's the last.
All I Want For Christmas Is You.
I still hate "baby it's cold outside"
The rest I can enjoy, or at least put up with

Dominick the Donkey is the worst, most un-Christmas song ever, it's not close.
@tirk44 I second that! Brutal song. Who the f has a Christmas donkey???
All. Of. Them. My humbug is now officially bah-ed. Very Merry to Y'all.
Feliz Navidad. Every time I turn on the radio, every store I walk into. Burn it and all copies of it with fire!

Christmas Shoes. It has the worst kind of hand-wringing Christmas sentiment and none of the cheesy fun.
@kathab almost made it through the season without hearing that one. Mind you I changed the station as soon as it started, but still.

@bluejester Actually that sounds hilarious. Maybe I'm just a terrible person, but I would listen to that one again and again.

Santa Baby is one of the shittiest and creepiest songs in the history of shitty and creepy songs and I hope it dies and burns in Hell.
That abortion of a Christmas song written by Paul McCartney. Worst Christmas song ever.
Santa baby

What @tikhead said. Simply have a wonderful Christmastime by not ever playing that crap again.
Any song sung by a dead person. Time to move Christmas into the 21st century.
You're all welcome :).
This gets played on the muzak at work all the time... they stopped for several years, it was wonderful, then this year it started up again.....
