20 Christmas Songs in the Public Domain for Crafters to Use

Filed Under: Copyright and Trademarks

I spend a lot of time on Cutting for Business telling crafters what they can’t make due to trademark and copyright issues. Today, I’m spending a few minutes telling you want you can use in your crafts for sale. Specifically, let’s talk about Christmas songs in the public domain.

When copyrights expire, they enter the public domain. This means that you do not need permission from anyone to use public domain materials and you can freely use public domain materials in your craft business.

20 Christmas Songs in the Public Domain

Deck the Halls
Silent Night
Joy to the World
Jingle Bells
Go Tell it on the Mountain
Hark, the Herald Angels Sing

    Thank you for these lists. There are more in Public Domain than I thought. I have bought, however, two files of the not PD use list from larger reputable companies. I assume they had permission to sell or they would not have offered them with commercial use license?

      Hello Cindy! You’d’ have to check with the company you bought them from. I cannot speak on behalf of other companies.
