Ok, so Nicole Kidman did have the added bonus of duetting with Robbie Williams, but their hit Somethin’ Stupid beat Winslet’s track to the UK Singles Chart no.1 spot that Christmas.

We know from Kristen Bell’s impressive performance in Frozen that she has got some serious pipes on her and that may have inspired her to make the goofy 2014 song with the cappella group ‘Straight No Chaser’. The silly song was an ode to The Times We Live In Now and was called Text Me Merry Christmas.

While this doesn’t actually surprise us, the very fact the video for David Hasslehoff’s The Christmas Song features a very sad dog and lots of chickens, made us want to include it.
