1. 'Fairytale of New York' has been voted the best Christmas song of all time in various media polls in the UK. It is a duet between which band and singer?
2. For my next track, I've chosen an extremely rude Christmas song called 'Happy Holidays' by a pop-punk band, also responsible for 'All the Small Things' and 'What's My Age Again?' The album is 'Take Off Your Pants and Jacket', but who are the band?
3. My next choice is a song by St Etienne called 'I Was Born on Christmas Day'. Which band's singer also appears on the track, singing the male vocal?
4. I've decided to pick a song by Fountains of Wayne, about a very unusual type of Christmas present. What did they want for Christmas, according to the song?

6. I've picked two Christmas songs by Half Man Half Biscuit. One of these is 'It's Cliched to be Cynical at Christmas', and the other one is about a game of Subbuteo that goes horribly wrong. Which football team is missing from the title, 'All I Want for Christmas is a...Away Kit'?

8. You may be familiar with 'Last Christmas' by Wham!
