Nothing gets us more into the holiday spirit than classic Christmas songs. But then there's always that point where we can't stand to hear Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" anymore. Luckily, pop singers love to remix their own version of holiday classics as well as put their immortal stamp on new holiday hit songs (anyone hear Ariana Grande's "Santa Tell Me?"). So if you feel like shaking it up, check out some of these viral YouTube holiday parodies that will surely bring you some joy.
Six13- Chanukah (Shake It Off)
Taking a page from Adam Sandler, the professional Jewish a cappella group Six13 remixed Taylor Swift's hit "Shake It Off" that pays homage to the Jewish holiday. The lyrics talk about lighting candles "one through eight" and spinning dreidels. The lyrics fit perfectly and these guys can actually sing, making it an awesome remix.
The Avengers Sing Christmas Carols
In an epic mashup, YouTube user James Covenant uploaded a video that features characters from The Avengers singing classic Christmas carols. Much like Jimmy Fallon's Brian Williams mashups, this parody takes a single word from various lines in the movie to recreate the lyrics to Christmas songs. The highlight of this parody is "Jingle Bells" sung by Groot. Keeping singing Samuel L. Jackson!
Ugly Christmas Sweater (Bang Bang Parody)
The perfect song to blast at your Ugly Christmas Sweater party, this parody to Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj's song "Bang Bang" is a winner. With vocals from Katie Wilson, Chrissa Sparkles and Michelle Glavan, this remix will have you singing, "Christmas all over your face." These girls know how to make ugly sweaters sound so good.
Christmas In The Air (Beyonce 7/11 Parody)
No holiday is complete without the Queen Bey. YouTube channel All Def Digital released a Christmas parody to Beyonce's new song "7/11." The video spoofs Beyonce's sister's wedding and mimics the seemingly home recorded video. But warning, this video is NSFW due to the references to Santa's famed "Ho, Ho, Ho" tagline. We must say that the Jay-Z impression is pretty dead on.
#JAMMIETIME : Holderness Family 2014 Christmas Video
The Holderness family rose to YouTube fame last year after they released a video Christmas card, "Xmas Jammies" that has 15 million views. While they family of four just landed a reality TV show, they still had time to create another YouTube Christmas hit. This year, the family sings about their successful year in #JammieTime.
But leave it to Jimmy Fallon and Rashida Jones to cover holiday-themed parodies to this year's top hits so perfectly.
