Sheet Music, Carols & Holiday Classics for Every Musician
Tis the season.
There’s something magical about cracking open a fresh music book at Christmas.
The smell of print and paper, the quiet anticipation of the first note, the chance to play songs everyone actually knows — it’s the season of shared tunes, warm hearts, and slightly chaotic living room singalongs.
Here at Musicmaker Dublin, we’re proud to stock one of Ireland’s biggest and best collections of Christmas music books — from piano to ukulele, guitar to group carols. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to bring the house down with a festive solo, we’ve got the perfect book for your holiday soundtrack.
For the Pianists: Keep It Simple, Keep It Festive
Few things capture the Christmas spirit like a piano filling a room with carols. Whether it’s a quiet fireside solo or a family singalong that gets louder (and slightly less in tune) by the verse, there’s nothing quite like it.
That’s where the Really Easy Piano series comes in — a lifesaver for beginners and casual players who want to sound polished without pages of advanced notation.
Really Easy Piano: Christmas Hits
A joyful selection of modern favourites — from Wham!’s Last Christmas to Fairytale of New York by The Pogues — beautifully arranged to play smoothly, even if you’ve only just started lessons. Every piece includes melody, simple left-hand accompaniment, and lyrics so the whole room can join in.
Really Easy Piano: Christmas Carols
A timeless collection of traditional tunes — “Silent Night,” “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “The First Noel” — arranged for accessible reading and instant warmth. You’ll sound like you’ve been playing for years (and no one needs to know otherwise).
Really Easy Piano: Bumper Christmas Book
For players who want everything, this hefty volume is the ultimate Christmas companion. Dozens of festive favourites across styles and decades, from old standards to modern classics. It’s basically your December playlist — in book form.
Perfect for: Anyone who wants to sit at the piano and fill the house with music this Christmas, regardless of skill level.
Endless Christmas fun for all the family.
For the Guitarists: Christmas, Six Strings at a Time
The smell of pine, the twinkle of fairy lights, and the unmistakable sound of someone gently fingerpicking Silent Night. That’s Christmas at its purest.
Christmas Songs for Solo Fingerstyle Guitar
This book turns classic carols and holiday hits into full, rich solo arrangements. You’ll play melody, harmony, and rhythm all at once — no backing track required. It’s ideal for intermediate players ready to sound like an entire band under their fingertips.
Christmas Songs for Solo Classical Guitar
Elegant, refined, and perfect for players who love the soft glow of nylon strings. These arrangements bring out the beauty of traditional carols — warm, resonant, and utterly timeless. Ideal for quiet evenings, candlelight, or the moment after dinner when someone says, “Play something Christmassy!”
Both books make the guitar shine — expressive, intimate, and full of that nostalgic warmth that makes December feel so special.
Perfect for: Guitarists who want to gift themselves a new challenge and play something seriously festive.
Grab your axe and Summon the Santa!
For the Carolers: Gather Round and Sing It Loud
There’s a special kind of magic that happens when people sing together at Christmas. No one cares if it’s in tune, no one’s counting bars — it’s about warmth, laughter, and voices bouncing off the kitchen tiles while someone burns the mince pies.
For that, you need a proper songbook — and The Easiest Tune Book of Christmas Carols is exactly that.
This beloved collection gathers the essential carols — “Silent Night,” “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” “Good King Wenceslas,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” “Once in Royal David’s City,” and more — all presented with simple melodies, clear lyrics, and easy piano or keyboard accompaniments.
It’s an absolute gem for families, schools, community groups, choirs, or anyone who wants to spread a little festive joy without the stress of complex sheet music. The arrangements are friendly for younger players and singers too, making it a brilliant resource for children’s choirs and Christmas performances.
And honestly? It’s impossible not to smile when a room full of people start singing “Deck the Halls” together. You’ll feel it in your bones.
Perfect for: Carol singers, piano players, and anyone who believes Christmas isn’t Christmas without a good belt of “O Come All Ye Faithful.”
This could be your living room.
For the Ukulele Players: Festive Fun in Four Strings
Few instruments capture pure, uncomplicated joy like the ukulele — and at Christmas, it’s practically a happiness machine.
Really Easy Ukulele: Bumper Christmas Book
A wonderful collection of festive favourites made accessible for soprano and concert ukes. Chords are simple, lyrics included, and it’s packed with all the holiday hits you’ll actually want to play.
Christmas Songs for Solo Fingerstyle Ukulele
For those ready to level up their playing — this beautiful book features rich, melodic arrangements that sound full and self-contained, even when played solo. It’s a great way to show off your musical chops while keeping things Christmassy and bright.
Both books make the ukulele the star of any festive gathering — compact, easy to learn, and always guaranteed to lift the mood.
Perfect for: Uke players, beginners who want instant fun, or guitarists looking to mix things up this Christmas.
For Everyone Else: Big Collections, Big Joy
Maybe you play a little bit of everything. Maybe you just love to sing. Or maybe you’re the organiser of the annual family performance (we see you). Either way, these grand all-rounders will keep everyone entertained.
The Only Christmas Book You’ll Ever Need
It’s a bold title — and it absolutely delivers. This mammoth collection gathers together hundreds of carols, popular songs, and festive standards in easy-to-read arrangements for piano, voice, and guitar. It’s the kind of book that lives on a piano stool or coffee table year after year, ready whenever the mood strikes.
From “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” to “O Holy Night,” it’s an entire season of music in one spine.
100 Most Beautiful Christmas Songs
This one’s pure magic — an elegant anthology filled with gorgeously arranged seasonal favourites, suitable for voice, piano, or guitar. It’s perfect for musicians who want variety, atmosphere, and maybe a touch of quiet sophistication amid the chaos of wrapping paper and tinsel.
These books aren’t just collections — they’re invitations. To gather, to sing, to share. To make music a part of your holiday tradition again.
Perfect for: Families, choirs, teachers, and anyone who loves a Christmas singalong done properly.
Top 5 Reasons to Gift Music Books This Christmas
1. They last longer than tinsel.
Music books don’t get packed away in January. They become part of a musician’s life — something to reach for year after year, each time the tree goes up. Whether it’s The Only Christmas Book You’ll Ever Need or a Really Easy Piano collection, they turn into traditions as much as gifts.
2. They’re for every skill level.
From total beginners to seasoned pros, there’s a book for everyone. The Really Easy range gets new players started with confidence, while books like Christmas Songs for Solo Fingerstyle Guitar challenge advanced musicians in the most rewarding way.
3. They make people actually play.
We all say we’ll practise more — music books make it happen. They’re tangible, motivating, and always there, even when the Wi-Fi isn’t. A good songbook beside the instrument is an open invitation to make some noise.
4. They bring people together.
Carols, singalongs, family jams — nothing fills a room with warmth quite like shared music. Books like The Easiest Tune Book of Christmas Carols make it easy for everyone to join in, no matter what they play (or how off-key they might be).
5. They’re the perfect add-on gift.
Music books pair beautifully with everything — a new instrument, a stand, or even a Musicmaker Gift Voucher. They’re affordable, personal, and thoughtful, whether you’re shopping for a child’s first carol book or a pianist’s next challenge.
