Bad Moms Christmas Soundtrack List
- Blue Christmas: The version used in the film is a 2017 cover by The Lumineers. “Blue Christmas” is a country/pop standard written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson, most famously recorded by Elvis Presley on Elvis’ Christmas Album (1957).
- Love Me Like You (Christmas Mix): The song used in the film is by British girl group Little Mix, from their Christmas edition of the album Salute. An earlier version of this post incorrectly linked this track to the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack — that association was inaccurate and has been corrected.

- 12 Days of Christmas: The song by Colbie Caillat also includes Aloe Blacc, released in 2017.
