I would kinda need to get a Christmas disco song for a party, preferably a disco version of some classic Christmas tune... Are there any? The only Christmas disco tune I have is Erotic Drum Band's "Love Christmas Love", which is awesome, but not what I'm looking for.

Surely 'Christmas Wrapping' by The Waitresses fits into this category?

etc etc
I already have a bunch of Christmas themed soul, funk, rap, Eurodance, and reggae tunes, so surely there must be some disco ones too?

Thanks for the suggestions, Dan!

Well, those aren't disco versions of Xmas standards, obviously. But they are disco, Christmas, and classic.

If you want disco versions of standards from the 70s, try these.
Amazon OR blog (this is the same record)

Mary's Boy Child by Boney M is a popular one.

xp Yeah, actually, the entire Boney M Christmas album is pretty good. (I always forget about it, since I only have it on a cassette somebody made for me.)

I can't see what people have embedded cause my computer is banjaxed, but the first Mistletoe Disco Band album is the best Christmas disco I've heard.

Cristina's Things Fall Apart is sort of disco in a Ze Records way

Yeah "Christmas on Riverside Drive" is great too but I'm thinking more trad disco.

The Salsoul Orchestra "Christmas Jollies" albums are pretty lame ("You're All I Want for Christmas" possibly the best cut) but if you really really like the Salsoul sound (I don't) they might bring you happiness...There's a Universal Robot Band track ("Disco Christmas"?) but it's not as good as you might expect from them.
It's actually kind of weird to me that disco has so few great Christmas songs.

Discogs throws up a bunch of things I've never heard; this one might be promising (apparently it's the same Montreal Sound who did "Music"):

I've never heard "Rocking Disco Santa." Not quite as batshit crazy as most song poem stuff I'm familiar with.
I have one Christmas disco cassette, on Pickwick I think, might be called "Mirror Ball Christmas?" Could be a repackage of one of these other ones.

Discogs has this one on Pickwick: http://www.discogs.com/PK-And-The-Sound-Explosion-Christmas-Disco/release/1575671

Now that YouTubes are visible for me again, I see that my suggestions were covered by the first four videos in the thread. Good work ILX!
