Coming up is our list of worst Christmas Music Videos from some of the biggest names in the business that will leave you cringing in your Christmas Stockings. If I were a family member or friend of any of the following I would organize a huge screening each year as punishment for these truly terrible works of shame.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays – ‘N Sync
This one is just embarrassing, and it doesn’t even have the longevity behind it like some other bad videos (Wham! For example are excused for having a long lasting success story Christmas tune and can blame the 80’s for their video!). Justin Timberlake will be hiding behind the tree this Christmas if this one gets played.
Sleigh Ride – TLC
I don’t think you can really ever get away with rapping “Jingle Bells” in a pair of over-sized dungarees, ever. And it gets worse…
Christmas in Hollis – RUN DMC
The fake sets and ridiculous words, plus some pretty ludicrous looking elf in a shell suit who decides whether Run DMC are naughty or nice, give this video an award for being really, really not cool.
8 Days of Christmas – Destiny’s Child
This is basically a lucid depiction of festive shallowness by the Destiny’s Child girls…a list of material (expensive) things that they got for Christmas this year, them piling mountains of random toys into trolleys in the shop and no, the sexy santa outfits do not make up for any of the awfulness this video has to deliver. Ice, bling and a Mercedes are not things to teach kids to want for Christmas girls!
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer – Elmo and Patsy
Although this is terrible, it’s actually pretty amusing and despite being a bit mean on old Grandma it may potentially cause a chuckle.
Jingle Bell Rock – Billy Idol
This has got to be a winner of worst video by Billy Idol ever, it’s so awful. It’s not a real rock song Billy no matter how many buttons you undo. We have one word for you…why?
When My Heart Finds Christmas – Harry Connick, Jr.
This one is pretty much vomit-worthy. Although Harry’s voice is undeniably good, this video just sucks the life out of any respect we may have had for it.
Let it Snow – Jessica Simpson
Somebody should have put a stop to this as it has to be one of the worst filmed music videos of all time. There’s a Christmas tree backdrop and Jessica Simpson holding a red umbrella…and that’s pretty much it. That wouldn’t be SO bad if the camera didn’t keep randomly zooming in on bits of her face and making us totally dizzy by the end of this seriously bad rendition of Let It Snow!
Oi to the World – No Doubt
This is an act of sheer defiance. Defiance against tradition, against fashion, against good music, against humanity and all the while they thought they were defying conformity. I don’t know why No Doubt did this but it should never have happened. I feel sorry for the people who got roped into being in this video, who are now no doubt (sorry) cringing for having been involved.
