Answer:

To solve this Christmas song lyrics crossword, we analyze each clue:

Across Clues:

1. There’s no place like this for the holidays → Home (from “There’s no place like home for the holidays”).
2. He’s a mean one → Grinch (from “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”).
3. According to several songs, sleigh bells do this → Ring (e.g., “Sleigh bells ring”).
4. Here comes ____! → Santa (from “Here Comes Santa Claus”).
5. “Mele Kalikimaka” is the way to say “Merry Christmas” here → Hawaii (Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaiian for “Merry Christmas”).
6. Bing Crosby wished for Christmas to be this color → White (from “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”).
7. He’s probably about the most famous snowman → Frosty (from “Frosty the Snowman”).
8. Elvis Presley “didn’t plan on a white Christmas, but this color without you” → Blue (from “Blue Christmas”).
9. This giant mammal is the only gift that will do! → Roc? No, wait—“The only gift that will do” → Roc is incorrect. Wait, “The Night Before Christmas” has “a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, and a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.” No, the clue is “giant mammal” → Roc is wrong. Wait, “the only gift that will do” → Maybe Roc? No, recheck. Wait, the clue: “This giant mammal is the only gift that will do!” → Wait, “The Christmas Song” (Chestnuts roasting…) has “and so this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, and a new one just begun.” No, the clue: “With two of these, the child in the song will no longer have to wish you a ‘Merry Chrithmath.’” Wait, no—16 across: “This giant mammal is the only gift that will do!” → Roc? No, maybe Elephant? No, recheck. Wait, the answer is Roc? No, perhaps I made a mistake. Let’s skip and come back.
10. With two of these, the child in the song will no longer have to wish you a “Merry Chrithmath.” → Front teeth (from “All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth”).
11. His bright red nose saved Christmas → Rudolph (from “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”).
12. She was caught kissing Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe last night → Mommy (from “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”).

Down Clues:

1. Have yourself this kind of little Christmas → Merry (from “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”).
2. Alvin and his brothers sang about Christmas in this song → Chipmunk (from “The Chipmunk Song”).
3. It’s lovely weather for one of these together with you → Walk (from “It’s a Lovely Day for a Walk”). Wait, no—“It’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you” → Sleigh ride? No, the answer is Walk? No, recheck. Wait, the clue: “It’s lovely weather for one of these together with you” → Walk is wrong. Wait, “It’s a lovely day for a walk” no—“It’s a lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you” → Sleigh ride? But the number of letters? Let’s check the grid.

6 down: Let’s count letters. The clue: “It’s lovely weather for one of these together with you” → Sleigh ride is too long. Wait, “It’s a lovely day for a walk” → Walk (4 letters? No, 4 letters? Wait, the grid: 6 down. Let’s check the cross. 6 down intersects with 10 across (White). So 6 down: letters. Let’s think again. “It’s lovely weather for one of these together with you” → Sleigh ride? No, the answer is Walk? No, maybe Skate? No. Wait, the song “Sleigh Ride” has “It’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.” So the answer is Sleigh ride? But the grid: 6 down. Let’s check the length. Let’s assume the answer is Sleigh ride but that’s too long. Wait, maybe Walk is wrong. Let’s skip.

1. These are roasting on an open fire → Chestnuts (from “The Christmas Song: Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…”).
2. Paul McCartney said we’re simply having a ____ Christmas → Wonderful (from “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime”).
3. Up on the ____, the reindeer pause, and out jumps dear old Santa Claus → Housetop (from “Up on the Housetop”).
4. Baby, don’t leave because it’s like this outside → Freezing (from “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” → “it’s cold outside” but the clue is “like this outside” → Freezing? No, “Baby, don’t leave because it’s cold outside” → Cold? But the grid: 12 down. Let’s check.
5. These are a few of my ____ things: raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles… → Favorite (from “My Favorite Things” → but in Christmas context? Wait, “My Favorite Things” is from The Sound of Music, but in Christmas playlists, it’s often included. The lyric: “These are a few of my favorite things.” So Favorite.
6. She got run over by a reindeer → Grandma (from “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”).
7. Mariah Carey says this is all she wants for Christmas → You (from “All I Want for Christmas Is You”).
