3. August Burns Red, “Carol Of The Bells”

The metalcore group originally recorded their instrumental cover of the holiday classic for the 2008 X Christmas compilation. Their rendition was even used in holiday trailers for The Spirit. Needless to say, their cover of “Carol Of The Bells” is pretty awesome and proves that not all metal Christmas songs have to be cheesy.
