One way to recognize a future classic Christmas song is to see how well it translates to different genres and settings. A classic Christmas song--a "standard", if you will--should be able to make the transition seamlessly. It should convey the same seasonal magic it did in its original version.
I've been convinced for some time that Low's "Just Like Christmas" is a classic Christmas song--one which will only gain in popularity as the years pass. It's probably too soon to call it, officially, but I've never heard a version of "Just Like Christmas" that failed to inspire the feeling of Christmas.
This Dream Pop version from Zipless Ellipsis (released last year) makes the point very well. Slowing the song down to a dreamy pace, the song still conveys the entire panorama of holiday feelings and emotions, inspiring flashbacks of Christmases past, both happy and sad.
