Can you feel Christmas right around the corner? I definitely can! Its time to crown our Christmas Champion right before we go into the big day. I am glad to have you all here in this competition and hope you all have a great day with the ones you celebrate with.
Who will win the game?
โ๏ธ Symmetry888 has only fallen in the bottom once this whole game and won two rounds. Will her song choices in this finale be just as good as they have been all game and push her to the win?
โ๏ธ Useamint has won three times, the most of anyone in the game, yet he is the only one in the finale to have been up for elimination twice. Will those submission choices that werent the best reappear for this last round and cost him the game?
โ๏ธ tbrown_47 hasn't won a round, but has came so close several times. He only ended up in the bottom once. Seemingly the underdog of the finale, will he finally be able to pull out the win when it counts the most?

THEME 1 Symmetry888 โ Hot Chocolate by The Polar Express โ Dear godโฆ I swear you only posted this to try to punish me. I canโt imagine thi is someones favorite song ever. Iโve never seen this movie and thanks to this song I never will!
Tbrown_47 โ Skating by Vince Guaraldi Trio โ Wow! This is definitely music! Itโs a piano and like.. other instruments. I feel like because its just an instrumental it didnโt like wow me. Like would I just want to listen to this in my spare time? No. It feels very retail like Iโm shopping through the store and they are playing it
Useamint โ Right Where You Want me to Be by A Day to Remember โ This one was easily the best of the category because it is something I could go and listen to regularly lol. That being said its something I really like anyways. I feel like weโve gotten a lot of pop punk this game and Iโve been living for it.
โ๏ธ
THEME 2 Symmetry888 โ Last Christmas by Hillary Duff- Wow I went into this being like.. omg its hilary duff slay! I hadnโt heard her version before so I thinking okay wow Iโm going to be amazed by this version everything she does is greatโฆ. Yikes this version was just kind of rough and crunchy sounding. Like the vocals werenโt there for her. I almost wished I hadnโt heard this so I could have had a better idea of what it couldโve been
Tbrown_47 - Jingle Bell Rock by Mean Girls? โ Okay so like this is such a great scene in the movie. I honestly wish there was a longer version where we see them performing the whole song and not just a reduced version for the movie. Like its rare I say โwow I wish this wasnโt so shortโ but here we are. I feel like maybe we could of just posted a cover of the actual song to kind of fill that space but eh.
Useamint โ Little Drummer Boy by Aly & AJ โ This takes a boring and bad song and makes it good and tolerable! Like such an improvement on the original. I feel like in other settings Iโve always been harsh to Aly & AJ but they did what they needed to do here with this little drummer boy.
โ๏ธ
THEME 3 Symmetry888 โ Christmas Without You by Ava Max โ Oh this song is so good. Shes been on my holi-playlist for the past few Christmases. I know you hate it but like.. queen Ava just really gave me what I wanted in this song. Truly a great choice and your only good choice of this whole finale lol.
Tbrown_47 - Christmas Special by Jenevieve โ Omg I wish all your songs this round were on this level because I really loved this song. This might be my favorite song youโve posted throughout the whole competition? You really saved the best gift for last!
Useamint โ Make You Mine This Season by Tegan and Sara โ At first I thought this song was gonna drag a bit. Luckily it picked up around 40 seconds in. It wasnโt my absolute favorite of yours. I feel like youโve had really good songs or just songs that fell flat. I feel like this was on the flatter side of yours.
The person who impressed me the least the finale and the person who is getting 3rd place is...

I feel like all your choices besides Ava Max were extremely underwhelming. Was that the point? Were you just posting whatever just because? I mean, you said so yourself lol.
And the winner of this competition and who performed the best in the finale is.......

Congratulations Kevin! You have won Joshs Ultimate Christmas Competition Spectacular. You're songs impressed me the most overall! You really showed me that you know what it means to have Christmas spirit - especially through your music taste!
That means sadly, Tbrown_47 you are the runner up and have gotten 2nd place in this game!
I hope you all have had at least some enjoyment in this game and that you found at least one song that you liked this holiday season!
๐
Merry Christmas to All,
And to all a goodnight.
โ๏ธ Welcome back to Josh's Ultimate Christmas Competition Spectacular! โ๏ธ
We've finally reached the finale! Sorry about the delay in arriving. The reindeer got loose, and I had to get all of them back in the stables! Last round we said goodbye to jaxon as they were just short of making the final day.
๐ - The Gift of Giving - Won by Tyleror and given to Useamint on Day 2
๐ - The Gift of Choice - Won by Useamint for Day 3
๐ - The Gift of ฬถSฬถaฬถfฬถeฬถtฬถyฬถ Punishment - Won by Voila for Day 5
๐ - The Gift Swap - Won by Symmetry888 for Day 4
After this round we will have our Christmas Champion. Who will it be? Only one way to find out!
On the first theme of finale my contestants gave to me, a song they loved dearly!
This theme I want you to send me your favorite Christmas song! It can be any song, any version. No specific genre or style of song. Just one you love! As long as it hasn't been submitted in this competition already
โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
On the second theme of finale my contestants sent something fantastic, it was a Christmas classic!
This theme I want you to send me a classic Christmas song. It doesn't have to be the original version, but it has to be a song that virtually everyone knows and its a huge Christmas staple.
โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
On the third theme of finale my contestants got gifts too, then they sent me something new!
This theme I want you to send me a Christmas song that came out within the last three years. They cannot be a remake of an existing song. It must be an original song by the artist that came out anywhere from 2020-2021.
โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
I wish you the best of luck contestants! I look forward to listening to your last few songs that will decide who the winner of this competition is.
The deadline will be when this blog expires OR when the last person submits their song. (I will allow you to switch your song up until the last person submits)
โ๏ธ Welcome back to Josh's Ultimate Christmas Competition Spectacular! โ๏ธ
Its the 7th night of Christmas, and we are saying goodbye to our last contestant before we have our final round! I just want to say I appreciate you all and each one of you have shown me songs that I've really loved and this round was hard to rank.
I have randomized the results for this results list just to show you all my thought process. I'll post the actual rankings in the comments shortly afterwards.
Symmetry888 โ Merry Christmas, Kiss My Ass by All Time Low โ This song is sooo good. This one is going straight to my holiday playlist. All Time Low was one of my less streamed punk band but I donโt know why. I feel like I like most of the songs I listen to of theirs.
Jaxon โ Christmas Sucks by Trisha Paytas โ Trisha has so many songs about Christmas I unironically like. This isnโt one of them! I feel like she puts out so much stuff that some fo them are actually good and catchy and the rest she puts out just to say she put out another song. I know youโre gonna be devastated and hate me but likeโฆ Trisha didnโt do it for me this time!
Tbrown_47 โ Yule Shoot Your Eye Out by Fall Out Boy โ This is gonna sound silly but the definitely felt very Fall Out Boy. They kept it on brand while making it a Christmas song. I feel like I would of possibly liked this a lot more than I already like it if it wasnโt just an acoustic style.
Useamint โ Fools Holiday by All Time Low โ I enjoyed this song. I do feel like it was the least anti-christmas feeling overall when listening to the full song. She was a cute little song and I felt the most conflicted on where to put this one when looking at all of the songs.
You both are making it to the finale! But which one of you won this round?
The star on the top of the tree this week is.....

I really loved your song this week! Just my favorite of the bunch really.
Onto the naughty list! ๐
The people at the bottom of the naughty list this episode are....
I'm so sorry! You had my least favorite song of the round and mixed with being in the bttm two with one of the biggest competitors of the season... there was really no other choice I could make sadly. When I think of which one of you two could perform the best in the next round just based off history, it had to be you leaving. I know you hate Christmas music so I'm proud that you managed to make it by this long was very surprising to not just me, but to everyone. Please don't hold this against me in All Stars 2 :(
โ๏ธ Welcome back to Josh's Ultimate Christmas Competition Spectacular! โ๏ธ
Last round we fell in love with Christmas, and maybe with someone special too! We didn't love saying goodbye to turkeylover & tyleror but with the game shortly coming to an end these choices are becoming more and more tough!
๐ - The Gift of Giving - Won by Tyleror and given to Useamint on Day 2
๐ - The Gift of Choice - Won by Useamint for Day 3
๐ - The Gift of ฬถSฬถaฬถfฬถeฬถtฬถyฬถ Punishment - Won by Voila for Day 5
๐ - The Gift Swap - Won by Symmetry888 for Day 4
Next round we will have 3 carolers left competing to win the title of Ultimate Christmas Champion. That means we will have to say goodnight and goodbye to one person. Who will it be? Only one way to find out!
Are you feeling like a bit of a scrooge? Is this competition just draining your christmas spirit? Maybe you've always hated Christmas and you just got here by luck.
This round I'm calling "Anti-Christmas"
This round I want you to send me a christmas song that just says.. I hate christmas! Songs that say "the holiday season is shit and christmas is a huge sham!"
The deadline will be when this blog expires OR when the last person submits their song. (I will allow you to switch your song up until the last person submits)
โ๏ธ Welcome back to Josh's Ultimate Christmas Competition Spectacular! โ๏ธ
Its the sixth night of Christmas, and TWO MORE contestants are shortly going to be let go so they can go make snow angels! We will go from six, and straight into our semi-finals with only for left.
I have randomized the results for this results list just to show you all my thought process. I'll post the actual rankings in the comments shortly afterwards.
Tyleror โ Under The Mistletoe by Kelly Clarkson โ I feel like maybe Iโm just getting a little Kelly fatigue because shes been posted in nearly ever single round this game but this song was just fine to me. Wasnโt the worst of the round but not nearly the best. Like I kind of groovy with it. It gets my foot tapping with the drum beat.
Symmetry888 โ My Only Wish (This Year) by Britney Spears โ Oh I just discovered this song last year and Iโve been missing out on this for all my life. The way this song doesnโt get enough attention and airplay is insane. I mean the song is a hopeful love letter, asking Santa to bring her baby to her! Like this is just such a good song ugh love it so much.
Turkeylover โ Wild Christmas by Chris Trousdale โ This song is like something youโd see in a 1998 disney channel original movie intro and like thatโs fine! Its okay but I donโt know that its something I would want to actually listen to in full. With the movie intro you get like maybe a minute of the song and like thatโs the perfect amount of time to listen to this song. I looked into the artist and apparently he died in 2020 from COVID? So RIP Chris โน
Useamint โ Mistletoe by Nikki Yanofsky โ This song gives me some like 60s vibes mixed with modern beats through the chorus. The verses sound like theyโd come out of like โHairspray โ The Holiday Specialโ. I really dig that and Iโve never heard this song and it made a great impression on me. One of the standouts of the entire competition. Prays this song is on spotify.
Jaxon โ One More Night by Leona Lewis โ I feel like Iโve never seeked this song out for myself but Iโve def heard it when walking around the mall doing some shopping. She is really and likeโฆ idk there is just this complete innocent feeling I get from this song. Idk much about Ms. Lewis. I know she has some big hit that I cant remember but like she did really good in this track she did.
Tbrown_47 โ Love is Alive by Jordin Sparks โ She was cute thatโs for sure. I listened to all the songs yesterday but didnโt get to ranking them so I listened to them again today to kind of sit with them and then rank them fully. I feel like this one was kind of forgettable. It doesnโt really stand out and have a huge unique sound to me.
You've done very well throughout the competition but as we get down to the wire your time has come to an end. I hope to have turned you into a Christmaslover.
The other person not making it to the semi-finals is.........
I don't think your song was awful this round at all and if I was eliminating based of soley this round I would probably have kept you in the game. Sadly when looking at your songs & Tims, along with your previous placements I feel like you started out strong and then just haven't been able to work your way back to fully to the top. I'm so glad you played and you introduced me to some songs that I really loved!
Tbrown_47UseamintSymmetry888 & Jaxon
Congratulations on making it to the 7th day of Christmas, the Semi-Finals, and I'll see you soon!
