You know Wham!, and claymation specials, and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" but have you seen the corniest Christmas video of all?
If not, it's probably this video of Wisconsin school teachers Bob and Trish Evans, who also happen to ride unicycles and juggle, among other acrobatic things.
Watch Bob and Trish get down with Santa to polka music. Then someone find me a more ridiculous Christmas video in the comments below.
-
1. "Last Christmas" - Wham!
What would a cheesy Christmas music video roundup be without George Michael -- and his mullet, covered by a furry, snow-covered hood?
If you like this video, just wait until you see the a cappella Norwegian version.
-
2. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" - 'N Sync
This video has everything: Gary Coleman as an elf, advanced green screen action, metal ball necklaces and those half-up, half-down pig tails that were cool in the early '00s.
Also, Joey Fatone, what are you wearing?
-
3. "All I Want for Christmas" - Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey collaborated with Justin Bieber last year for a fresh take on her holiday staple. But the original 1994 video -- in all of its vintage film, kaleidoscope glory -- will forever be the best.
-
4. "Sleigh Ride" - TLC
Baggy overalls? Check. Soft lighting? Check. Christmas warehouse party? Check. TLC did this hip-hop version of the original 1950s carol in 1993.
-
5. "Christmas in Hollis" - RUN DMC
The DJ elf is only one tiny part that makes this 1987 hip hop video so wonderfully cheesy.
Wait for the breakdown towards the end with "Back Door Santa", "Frosty the Snowman", "Jingle Bells", and "Joy to the World."
-
6. "Christmas Conga" - Cyndi Lauper
No, Cyndi Lauper's "Christmas Conga" music video doesn't really include Sims avatars and dancing 3D aliens. But this is so outlandish, that it's going in the mix.
-
7. "8 Days of Christmas" - Destiny's Child
"On the third day of Christmas, my baby gave to me, a gift certificate to get my favorite CDs."
Nothing says holiday romance like crop tops, Barbies made in your franchise and kids destroying a toy store.
-
8. "Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer" - Elmo and Patsy
This song is known for its silly lyrics, so its only natural that there is a great '90s music video to go with it.
-
9. "Jingle Bell Rock" - Billy Idol
Billy Idol's facial expression are hilarious enough on their own. Adding fake snow in the background and angled close up shots of Brian Tichy are just icing on the cake.
-
10. "Santa Baby" - Madonna
Madonna plays the Marilyn Monroe part well in this classic 1987 holiday cover. Then suddenly, you forget what you're watching because an animated cartoon of an elephant flys across the screen, followed by what looks like Madonna as a fairy.
-
11. "Where Are You Christmas?" - Faith Hill
This song from the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas makes you want to sing into a hairbrush. Faith Hill's crimpy hair looks especially magical in the snow
-
12. "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" - John Mellencamp
There's something about John Mellencamp and his lucious locks singing about his mommy and Santa Claus that's both strange and wonderful.
-
13. "When My Heart Finds Christmas" - Harry Connick, Jr.
Harry Connick, Jr., what are you doing with that snowglobe outside of the window?
-
14. "Let it Snow" - Jessica Simpson
Jessica Simpson belts out a classic in her 2004 cover of "Let it Snow." The video became more famous, with its fake snow and green screen action.
-
15. "Oi to the World" - No Doubt
Nothing gets you in the holiday spirit like a Vandals' cover about gangs living together in harmony.
