December piano lessons can feel busy, scattered, and a little chaotic. Between concerts, holidays, school events, and end-of-year energy, it helps to have Christmas piano music that is simple, beautiful, and ready to use.

These five easy Christmas piano songs are arranged for beginner piano students and include matching YouTube play-along videos. They are great for private lessons, music classrooms, holiday performances, or at-home practice.

Each carol is in the public domain and has been arranged by me with beginner students in mind.

If you want all five pieces in one place, you can grab the full Easy Piano Christmas Carol Bundle on TpT.

The bundle includes:

• Silent Night
• Joy to the World
• Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
• Away in a Manger
• O Come All Ye Faithful
