100% on Team "Hallelujah" for this one! You literally put the only good uptempo song of this incredibly slow rankdown in your bottom 3. I'll follow you out!

The song that was literally just revealed at #3, hence the reason I'm talking about it

Thank GOODNESS!!! Of the top 2, the right song won! The duet with John Legend ain't bad but also boring, can't believe it made the top 2. Anyway, this was a... Rankdown I guess. Thanks for hosting taylor you were fantastic as usual!

Ugh. O Holy Night? Really? I like it but for it to be the winner? I don't know...
Favorite Time of Year really should've been the winner of this. I would've ranked it higher had it made the actual album, but it not being on the actual album left a sour taste in my mouth which affected my ranking.

And in the grand finale, "O Holy Night in 2020" takes the cake with literally no competition whatsoever!!! "Hallelujah" was also with virtually no competition. Both songs are absolutely phenomenal and are masterclasses in vocals. Those NOTES in "Hallelujah!" That ENDING of "O Holy Night!!" It's just spectacular. "O Holy Night" was our #1 song from the very beginning, and at one point was such a runaway that it was FORTY points ahead of "Hallelujah," which was only like two points ahead of the then-current #3 It was always going to take this entire rankdown. "Hallelujah" did stumble at the beginning due to tim's #17 rank but ultimately the song was able to rebound and once it returned to the runner-up position, it never once looked back. Thanks y'all for following along with these reveals, even if you were busy during this crazy hectic holiday week. I had a lot of fun doing this! I hope all of you have a very safe and Merry Christmas tomorrow!

Okay, I was rooting for "Hallelujah" to win because it is absolutely BREATHTAKING imo, but "O Holy Night" was literally my #2 so I am fine w/ this outcome, lol. I also got a PR for "Favorite Time of Year," so this top 3 was pretty close to perfection. Thanks for hosting taylor! This was definitely my favorite Xmas rankdown of 2020. <3

The correct final four, and OHN deserved its win. Bless (almost) everyone for having taste. Thanks, Tay!

Pretty solid results! I ranked Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas #1 because I already loved the song, and I think Carrie did a stellar job there.
Solid top 2 as well, and if I’m being honest, any of these would be great winners in my eyes.
Thank you for hosting Tay! I really enjoyed this rankdown ❤️
