Announcing CHRISTMAS MUSIC bracket!

Round 1 voting due Nov 10

Hello faithful bracketeers,

It’s the most wonderful time of the year again…bracket time!

I hope you had a spooktacular Halloween season. Now it’s time to clear out the cobwebs and hang up the mistletoe, and trade in those potions for eggnog.

There may be some turkey along the way, of course, but if we want to crown a Christmas champion with a wreath of evergreen and holly, we’ve got to start now! Plus, let’s face it, Christmas is FUN so the sooner we start the better.

Lest you think my Christmas obsession is just a front for a new bracket, this is me and my daughter literally 45 minutes after we got home from trick-or-treating.

To celebrate the season, VS Brackets is finally leaving Disney fandom and headed to a bold new frontier: HOLIDAY MUSIC!

I’ve selected 64 Christmas carols and holiday bangers. Only YOU can decide which one is the greatest Christmas song of all time.

How it works

Voting for round 1 is due Friday, November 10.

I will open the next round the following Monday. Votes are always due Friday.

Which version of the song am I voting for? Whichever one you want! Every single one of these songs has been performed countless times but everyone from pop stars to church choirs to your middle school orchestra. Choose your favorite (or least favorite!) rendition and roll with it.

Do I vote based on which one I like better, or which one is my favorite, or something else? It’s YOUR vote - you set the rubric!

This seeding is awful - how dare you?! I dare not. I asked ChatGPT to seed the bracket for me this time. Blame the AI.

Need a refresher on any of the songs?
