Wham

Wham!’s contribution to Christmas music is iconic, with their 1984 hit “Last Christmas” standing out as one of the most beloved holiday songs of all time. Written and produced by George Michael, the song captures a bittersweet story of love and heartbreak set against the festive backdrop of Christmas. Its catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics have made it a timeless classic, continually covered by artists across genres.

The music video for “Last Christmas” is equally memorable, featuring George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley on a snowy retreat in the Swiss Alps. The video tells a story of friends gathering for a holiday celebration, interwoven with flashbacks of a past romance. The picturesque winter scenes and cozy festive atmosphere perfectly complement the song’s nostalgic tone.

“Last Christmas” has enjoyed perennial popularity, re-entering the charts almost every holiday season. Its enduring appeal is a testament to its masterful blend of pop sensibility and holiday spirit. Wham!’s Christmas music not only encapsulates the joy and melancholy of the season but also highlights George Michael’s exceptional songwriting and vocal talent, ensuring its place in the canon of Christmas classics.
