The Vamps' Christmas Playlist The Playlist

# Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way

# Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

# Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way

# Oh, what fun it is... #

Whoa! Whoa!

This is the Christmas playlist.

-Merry Christmas, The Playlist! Woo!

-Yeah!

-Christmas time!

Ho-ho-ho!

-Santa!

-Yes, it's me.

It's Santa, boys.

Have I been a good boy?

I am Santa Claus.

Old Johnny St Nick. What's his name?

Johnny St Nick!

It's me, Santa Claus, little St Nick.

Papa Noel.

This is...this is clearly Lauren Layfield.

-We can tell.

-No!

-I'm going to go find the real Santa.

-No...

-Go on.

Roll the next video, guys, we'll deal with this.

# Girl, don't take it personal... #

They've won the Teen Awards four times

and they've got two Teen Choice awards.

They've got over 500 million views...

..and they wish it could be Christmas every day.

This week's Christmas playlist hosts are the Vamps!

# When the kids start singing and the band begins... #

Have no fear, viewers,

we will find the real Santa before the end of the show.

Let's ask our boy Greg James. Do you know where he is?

DEEP VOICE: Ho-ho-ho! Hello, little boys.

I don't know who this Greg is you speak of,

but you've already found Father Christmas.

So if you're the real Santa Claus,

what's on our Christmas list this year?

When you came and sat on my knee in my grotto,

you told me you wanted some sprouts and a train set, was it, as well?

And some mousse for your hair, wasn't it, young Bradley?

Can you just do the chart, please, Greg?

Of course I can get Greg to do the chart for you.

Give me a second.

NORMAL VOICE: OK, it's time for the Christmas chart. Let's do it.

This is NF's first-ever appearance in the Christmas chart.

This is Let You Down.

# L-L-Let you down... #

# Guilty feet ain't got no rhythm... #

One of the big contenders for Christmas number one this year,

but X Factor winners haven't quite made it.

This is Dimelo by Rak-Su, featuring Wyclef.

# I miss you... #

Tokio Myers has dropped a nice remix of this track.

This is Clean Bandit, featuring Julia Michaels, with I Miss You.

Fairytale Of New York by the Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl,

this has reached the UK top 20 every Christmas since 2005.

# I tell her man's not hot Never hot... #

Big Shaq played his very first snowy sold-out show in London this week.

This is Man's Not Hot.

# I tell her man's not hot Never hot... #

# Take me anywhere... #

And you can get festive with Rita on Christmas Day

on Top Of The Pops on the telly. This is Anywhere.

# Anywhere away with you

# Fun, little less fun Little less... #

Despite this being the most downloaded Christmas song

of all time, Mariah hasn't claimed the top spot this year.

This is All I Want For Christmas Is You.

# Is you... #

# Ooh... #

It sold over two million copies in the UK

but Wham! have missed out on Christmas number one again.

# Last Christmas, I gave you my heart... #

# Been a lover, been a cheat... #

And just missing out on the Christmas number one is

this surprise new entry from Eminem featuring, of course, Ed Sheeran.

# I don't want to admit to something... #

And there he goes, he has done it,

he's dominated 2017 with a number one album, two number one singles,

countless rising credits and features and, at one point,

he even held 16 of the top 20 songs in the UK chart.

And to top it off, he's the UK's official Christmas number one

for 2017. Congratulations, Ed Sheeran.

# I whispered underneath my breath

# But you heard it, darling

# You look perfect tonight... #

So that's it, Christmas number one for 2017 is Ed Sheeran

and that is it for the chart on The Playlist until January.

So, from me and...

DEEP VOICE: ..from Father Christmas, wherever he's gone...

NORMAL VOICE: ..Merry Christmas.

Thank you, Santa Greg. Merry Christmas and see you in 2018.

Now, it's a very special Christmas playlist this week

as you guys gave them six songs to choose from.

We did, and they're all Christmas corkers. They are...

Baby, Please Come Home, by Little Mix.

Underneath The Mistletoe, Justin Bieber.

Last Christmas by Wham!.

Have Yourself A Merry Christmas, Sam Smith.

Baby, It's Cold Outside, Idina Menzel and Michael Buble.

Santa Tell Me, Ariana Grande.

So, shall we find out who is in third place on the playlist this week?

Please.

# On the third day of Christmas This was your third choice. #

Oh, I do love a good Christmas tune. Don't you, the Vamps?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

The Vamps, unbelievable.

-Eating mince pies isn't one of today's challenges, is it?

-Sorry.

-Do you want one?

-No!

She wants your line, though!

SHE LAUGHS

Is eating pigs in blankets one of the challenges?

-No!

-Why not?

But this is.

Two teams, Christmas songs, I'm going to read out a word,

it's a Christmassy word, and whoever can race to the mic

and sing a song with that word within it gets a point.

-Sounds easy, right?

-Easy.

-No.

-Easy.

-Then here we go.

Three, two, one, the first one is snow.

Oh, straight off the mark.

-You know what?

-Erm...

Oh, he's folding!

# Sleighing in the snow! #

BELL

It's off a Vamps album.

Next one - bells, go. He's off, he's off.

# Jingle bells, jingle bells

# Jingle all the way. #

It's an easy one, it's a good one. A solid one.

Winter. Winter.

-AS JON SNOW IN GAME OF THRONES:

-Winter is coming.

SHE LAUGHS

I had nothing whatsoever.

What's that song?

Look, again, cheating...

-Take it.

-I don't know it!

# Winter Claus is coming to town

# Winter Claus is coming to town. #

THEY SING TOGETHER

Right, did someone say Winter Claus?

BUZZER

Ready? Red. Ooh, it's a hard one. Don't go if you haven't...

# Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer. #

Oh, no! Oh no!

A sleigh.

-Oz land?

-Sleigh!

# Do you wanna go sleighing in the snow? #

Vamps album.

You can sing other songs that aren't on your album. If you want to.

No, no, no.

Frost.

# Frosty the Snowman. #

That's frost-y, though!

In a way. I did say frost.

No.

I think, yeah.

Christmas.

# It's Christmas. #

The last one, OK, and this basically means whoever gets it wins anyway,

so you really want this one.

White.

# I'm dreaming of a White Christmas. #

Guess what? You guys won!

Erm, you guys, when I said decorate the tree, I said the tree, not me.

As we make sure that Lauren is ready for Christmas,

it is time to unwrap - see what we did there? - another Playlist

present and see who you voted for in second place this week.

# On the second day of Christmas This was number two. #

In second place on this week's Christmas playlist is...

-Wow, Wham!.

-Wow-wee.

# Last Christmas I gave you my heart

# But the very next day you gave it away

# This year, to save me from tears

# I'll give it to someone special

# Last Christmas I gave you my heart

# But the very next day

# You gave it away

# This year, to save me from tears

# I'll give it to someone special

# Once bitten and twice shy

# I keep my distance

# But you still catch my eye

# Tell me, baby

# Do you recognise me?

# Well, it's been a year

# It doesn't surprise me

# Merry Christmas

# I wrapped it up and sent it

# With a note saying, I love you

# I meant it

# Now I know what a fool I've been

# But if you kissed me now

# I know you'd fool me again

# Last Christmas... #

An amazing second choice on the Christmas playlist!

Oh, a cracker!

I love crackers. Here we go. Three, two, one.

Oh, yes, it's mine!

OK. Oh, a joke.

Who delivers Christmas presents to cats?

Santa Paws.

Right, let's get rid of that because, clearly,

the best funnies are not in that.

If you want stars, if you want music,

if you want laughter - yes, laughter -

have a look at this.

Hello-ho-ho!

Hi, I was looking for Santa's grotto.

Well, look no further, Tom.

You're...Santa?

You look a little bit like...

Now, Tom, I can't seem to find your name on my list.

So which list do you think you're going to be on?

I hope I'm on the nice list.

I can't be sure about that.

There have been a few moments this year, I won't lie.

Because lying would put me on the naughty list.

-I think we can put you on the nice list.

-Yes!

So, what have you been up to?

Putting a Christmas show together, called the Christmasaurus Live,

and getting all my friends and family to come and be in the show.

It's been a busy year.

Wow, it has been a busy year.

Tell me, Tom, what's Christmas like in the Fletcher household?

Quite busy. We normally have everyone come over to our place,

so it's a hectic house.

Full Christmas dinner, all the trimmings, turkey, stuffing.

I'm usually busy in the kitchen, trying not to ruin everyone's day

by making horrific gravy, which I did one year.

My tip for Christmas...

..because it's what you pour on the rest of the dinner.

And, Tom, what is your favourite Christmas song?

I like Paul McCartney's one.

# We're simply having a wonderful Christmas time... #

I don't know why, I just love it.

Now, before you leave, I do have you a little something.

I wrapped it myself.

Ooh!

Oh! Cookies!

Yes. So you can leave me some on Christmas Eve.

Ho-ho-ho!

Right, of course.

If you like that, you can get the whole thing on the CBBC website.

Yes, you can. Now, the Vamps, what do you want for Christmas?

I'm happy with a roast. I'm just happy with the roast.

-All about the food?

-Happy to be there as well.

-Chocolates. Orange chocolate.

-Orange chocolate, chocolate orange.

Any will do for him. Anything else?

What do you want?

I would like...some kind of animal?

Maybe a dog, maybe a little kitten,

maybe a little piglet.

-A horse?

-No! Never a horse.

Not a horse!

Hey, I tell you what we could get you for Christmas.

From us, The Playlist, to you, the Vamps.

Maybe a bit of a chocolate fountain,

-some strawberries.

-Nice!

-Oooh!

-Oh!

You like a bit of that?

-Very kind.

-Sounds lovely.

Good, because it's time for the Father Christmas

Chocolate Fountain Gingerbread House Challenge.

-You nailed it.

-Catchy title.

OK, so, guys, our chocolate fountain has arrived.

Ready for Christmas. It's looking lovely.

And we've got a little challenge for you.

We want you to decorate these lovely gingerbread houses,

using a bit of marshmallow,

bit of strawberry maybe, a variety of sweets.

However, you can only do it using your mouths.

Using your mouths. Yeah. No hands.

You guys can just polish off.

Make it look a little bit better for them.

Are you swapping?

Tactics.

Interesting, interesting.

Off you go.

Get in there.

Oh, yeah, that's it, stick it on.

Stick it on.

That is a mess.

That is a right old mess, that.

OK.

Very precise there from you.

Why are you using your hands? Sorry!

You did read the rules before you came in today?

What are you saying?

James, that is a massive disqualification. Get out!

Leave!

Leave, James!

THEY LAUGH

No Christmas presents for you!

Go on!

You should be ashamed of yourself. Santa wouldn't have that!

What are you going to do about this? You're on your own now.

That's time up. Time is up!

No more. Well, you can eat it now.

In fact, I'm going to have a little one of these.

I've just dribbled.

Let's have a little look. I mean, that...

My team-mate destroyed it.

Mmm.

You've destroyed it a bit more.

-Ours wins.

-I think that does win.

Round of applause.

Well done. Well done.

Do you want to smash it? Go on.

Go on.

I'm going to do it for you.

# Well, he just might like to know

# He's put a great big smile... #

-OK, it's time for the big moment.

-The time you've been waiting for.

The time you've been waiting for and voting for.

The winner of the Vamps' Christmas playlist.

# On the first day of Christmas This was the winning song... #

-It's time.

-It's the big moment.

The time you have all been waiting for.

-And voting for.

-It's bigger than Simon Cowell's dressing room.

It's time to announce...

It's your favourite playlist choice this week.

Guys, this is so exciting.

SCREAMING

Let's announce that later.

Your winning Christmas playlist track this week is...

Well voted, people. Great tune.

# Santa, tell me if you're really there

# Don't make me fall in love again If he won't be here next year

# Santa, tell me if he really cares

# Cos I can't give it all away

# If he won't be here next year

# Feeling Christmas all around

# And I'm trying to play it cool

# But it's hard to focus when

# I see him walking 'cross the room

# Let It Snow is blasting out

# But I won't get in the mood

# I'm avoiding every mistletoe

# Until I know it's...

# True love that he thinks of

# So next Christmas

# I'm not all alone, boy

# Santa, tell me if you're really there

# Don't make me fall in love again If he won't be here next year

# Santa, tell me if he really cares

# Cos I can't give it all away

# If he won't be here next year

# I've been down this road before

# Fell in love on Christmas night

# But on New Year's Day, I woke up

# And he wasn't by my side

# Now I need someone to hold

# Be my fire in the cold... #

Congratulations!

Congratulations on an amazing Christmassy playlist choice.
