Our favorite festive tunes bring holiday cheer and sentimental feelings year after year. But...
These scenes of Christmas perfection depicted in our favorite songs aren’t always realistic. As marketers, you know that this season, while cheerful, can be one of our busiest and most stressful periods all year. Many of us are juggling holiday campaigns, planning ahead for the New Year, scheduling social content so the show still goes on during the break... and so much more.
In between all of that, not to mention shopping and wrapping gifts and working out holiday travel plans, who has time for roasting chestnuts on an open fire or singing and dancing around your Christmas tree?
So, in an effort to be more relatable, we took the liberty to rewrite some of these lyrics to represent the festive reality of digital marketers, internal teams, and the joys of social media. Take five minutes out of your busy day to sing (and maybe laugh in agreement) along with a few beloved Christmas carols. Enjoy!
Last Christmas
(To the tune of Last Christmas, of course.)
Last Christmas I made you some art,
but the very next day you tore it apart.
This year to save us from tears,
I’ll just send a template from Canva.
Once written and twice signed,
It was approved, but this typo got by.
Tell me, Brady. Did you analyze it?
Well, it’s been a week, we should revise it.
Last Christmas I made you some art,
but the very next day you tore it apart.
This year to save us from tears
I’ll just send a template from Canva.

All I Want for Christmas is Views
(To the tune of All I Want for Christmas is You)
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need.
I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree.
I just want more clicks than one,
Took so much time to get this done.
If everybody knew...
All I want for Christmas is views.

You better not pout,
You better say "bye,"
