UK v USA: Who Has the BEST Christmas Songs?

from How Great is Britain · host How Great is Britain

New Episodes EVERY Monday! It’s officially December, which means the stockings have been hung, the festive pyjamas are on, and we’re kicking off a whole month of holiday themed episodes! This week, we’re diving into one of our favourite parts of the season: Christmas music.We begin by talking about how important it was to get all of our Christmas decorations safely over from America, and then swap stories about the songs that shaped our childhood holidays — including the mysterious Christmas track Brett absolutely hated when he was eight but still can’t explain why. (Spoiler: we think we finally get to the bottom of it.)Brett also breaks down his three categories he believes every Christmas song falls into, and we tackle the age-old question of whether Die Hard is actually a Christmas movie. (Don’t get too wild in the comments.)Then it’s dashing through the snow as we go head-to-head in not one but TWO Christmas quizzes: Brett tests Gemma on the UK’s biggest Christmas songs, and Gemma challenges Brett with the most popular American holiday hits. Things get competitive, nostalgic, and opinions fly like tiny reindeer.We wrap Part 1 right after the quizzes, and in part 2 we’ll be revealing our personal Top 5 Christmas songs, along with a few surprises we’ve been saving.Crank up the record player, deck your halls, and get ready to jingle those bells -IT’S CHRIIIIIIIISTMAS!🌍 Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.HowGreatIsBritain.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ for updates, resources, and behind-the-scenes content.📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@HowGreatIsBritain⁠⁠#ChristmasSongs #UKChristmas #AmericanInUK #ExpatLife #LifeInTheUK #MovingToTheUK #ChristmasMusic #UKvsUSA #BritishChristmas #ChristmasVibes #FestiveSeason #HolidaySpecial #Christmas2025 #TopChristmasSongs #UKYouTubers #DecemberVlog
