Holiday Jam: ‘Feliz Navidad’ Meets ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’

The new holiday jam is a mash up of "Feliz Navidad" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Somehow, it works.

You wouldn't think these two things would go together but they end up pairing perfectly. Just like red and green during the holiday season. Or is it just a tacky mess? To each their own but it seems fitting for the holiday season. Some are saying it's the grungiest Christmas song of all-time and I think they're onto something. Check out the latest holiday jam combining "Feliz Navidad" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" below. What do you think?

The video was shared by @jimlapbap_music on TikTok and currently has more than 700 likes and 27 comments. One commenter said, "Okay, but this lowkey slaps, especially the guitar after each 'Feliz Navidad.'" Another points out that it kind of has a James Hetfield vibe. Another commenter noticed that "Smells Like Christmas Spirit" would have been a clever and appropriate name. You can always count on the comment section for some humor.

Seems like this is this guy's thing and he's constantly making videos like this. I respect the effort. He even starts the video by warning that musically this should not work because they have different tempos and such but it doesn't sound as bad as he warns it may be. I think it actually works. Sure, it's not the most spirited or jolliest of songs but it does work as a spoof and parody. I don't think you'll be turning it on Christmas morning while unwrapping gifts and it won't be the next big holiday hit but it's worth a laugh.

What do you think? Did you expect worse or did it hurt your ears? Nirvana certainly isn't the first thing I think of when I think of Christmas music but I'll let it slide this time around. There are definitely worse Christmas songs and mash ups out there. Some people start playing their Christmas music in October and I think that's a bit much. Even in November is a stretch to me. Personally, I feel like once it's December you're fine listening to Christmas music and you can start decorating. But anything before Thanksgiving just seems a bit too far ahead. Let's enjoy Thanksgiving before we rush to Christmas! It's like people who have Halloween decorations up in August. Hey--I've seen it!

'Tis the season for Christmas movies, but what makes a Christmas movie a "Christmas movie?" Does it have to take place on Christmas? Must Christmas be the primary theme? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?

It's a question that seems to be as old as the holiday itself. Everyone has an opinion, and we could be closer to an answer than ever before.

In determining what makes a Christmas movie a "Christmas movie," Yahoo! UK came up with a two-question litmus test. To try to determine if a movie is indeed a Christmas movie, they say you have to first ask "does watching the film at any other time of year feel weird? If no, then it's not a Christmas movie."

Then, they suggest you ask, "if you take Christmas out of the movie, does it still make sense? If yes, then it's not a Christmas movie."

I think those are fair criteria. It's not a Christmas movie if you can watch it during the summer and have no issue. If it has the same feel in August as it does on Christmas, it shouldn't be a Christmas movie.

Likewise, I feel like Christmas has to be the primary theme of the movie. If you can remove Christmas from the plot and it still makes sense it shouldn't be considered a Christmas movie.

So, given these characteristics I feel like Die Hard would not be considered a Christmas movie. Despite the movie taking place on Christmas, you can watch the movie all year long. It doesn't have to be exclusively tied to Christmas. To me, it doesn't pass the litmus test.

In a new poll, 26% of people said that Die Hard is a Christmas movie. 50% of people surveyed said it is not. Then, 23% say they "aren't sure."

Die Hard isn't the only movie that we question if it's a Christmas movie or not. Some of the best movies of all-time could fall into this vague area. Here are five other movies that are debatable Christmas movies, just like Die Hard.

You can't think about Mean Girls without thinking of the Jingle Bell Rock performance. They're all in their Santa outfits. However, Christmas isn't a big enough theme in the movie.

Harry Potter works great year round. It's a Christmas movie, it's a Halloween movie, due to all the feasts it's even a Thanksgiving movie. However, because of all these factors I don't think it's really a Christmas movie. Still great, though.

A lot of the movie happens on Christmas Eve. It's a big part of the movie. However, no way can we consider it a Christmas movie.

It was originally marketed as a Christmas movie for kids. However, because it's so different from the others it's hard to call it a Christmas movie. Does it pass the test in your opinion?

Pretty much the entire movie takes place during the Christmas season. It's tied very closely to Christmas. It could actually be a Christmas movie, if you think about it.
