Christmas spirit is in the air as some pros turn down festive tunes that usually get stuck in their heads all year round.
For Paul Fessi, a professional Santa, Eartha Kitt's sultry version of 'Santa Baby' gets him and his fellow adults dancing with glee, while Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer remains a pure Christmas classic. But when it comes to Christmas songs that drive him mad, none exist – for now.
On the flip side, Cleve Freckleton aka Rasta Claus, finds some festive tunes more Christmassy than others. While he prefers Baby It's Cold Outside and Winter Wonderland because of their nostalgic feel, he can't bear Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses due to its earworm riff.
Meanwhile, Keith Leech grins and bears Donny Osmond for the love of Christmas, while Nigel Harvey aka Santa Himself finds Jona Lewie's Stop the Cavalry a heartfelt plea to stop all war. And Simon Anthony, who wears a beard and braces to complete his jolly old elf look, swears by Prokofiev's Sleigh Ride.
But there's one song that drives Arnold Warneken, aka Green Santa, absolutely bonkers – Spike Jones' 1948 hit 'All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth'.

I mean, some people love "Baby It's Cold Outside", I get it, but come on, other songs are more Christmassy to me 
. Don't even get me started on the 80s jams like Christmas Wrapping... earworms for life 
. it's like, hello, winter is over and now we gotta deal with snow boots and gloves again? 
anyway, spike jones' song is kinda funny tho... its like, who wants to listen to a kid's nursery rhyme in december lol 
and also why does everyone love prokofiev's sleigh ride so much? it sounds like someone took all the worst parts of holiday music and mashed them together into one confusing mess 
️ I think it's kinda funny how people have such strong feelings about Christmas songs. Like, for some guys, certain tunes are straight fire and get them pumped up for the holiday season 
, but others can't stand 'em. It's like, what even is Christmas spirit if we don't have a little bit of earworms to annoy us all year round? 
. I mean, think about it: Santa's "baby" is basically a euphemism for the government's "gifts" to us. Wake up, sheeple! 
Just imagine listening to "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" on repeat every single day! 
It's no wonder Arnold Warneken can't take it anymore! But at the same time, I love how different people have their own unique takes on what makes a Christmas song annoying or awesome. I mean, to each their own, right? Some people might enjoy that silly song all year round and I'd be more than happy to join in on the fun 
But some of these Christmas classics that drive people mad? Like what's up with Keith Leech and Donny Osmond? 
. But Arnold Warneken's got a bone to pick with Spike Jones' 'All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth'? 
. Can't they just leave some Christmas music alone? Like, I get it, the classics are fine, but do we really need to listen to "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" on repeat for months? It's like Arnold Warneken has a personal vendetta against our eardrums 
. And don't even get me started on the ones that just make you roll your eyes, like Keith Leech and his Donny Osmond love fest...just no 
.
. Like, I know some people love Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby" and think it's all sassy and fun, but for me, that song is just super cheesy 
. And don't even get me started on "Baby It's Cold Outside" - I mean, isn't that just a bit dodgy? 
. His "Little Drummer Boy" version is so underrated
