Before we get to the winner of the Top 16 Challenge, we have to know where the final songs ended up. Coming in at 4th Place, Where Are You Christmas - Faith Hill. The winner of that battle, and our third place, Underneath the Tree - Kelly Clarkson. That brings us to first and second place. Somehow, this match was much more of a blow-out than our 3rd/4th decider. Nat King Cole and The Christmas Song take the win this year with Santa Claus Is Coming to Town - Sinatra sitting at 2nd.
For all of you in the Top 16 challenge, here is what you have really been waiting for:
In 4th place with 43 points in the showdown...former winner Nutmeg Eggnog!
In 3rd place with 44 points, Santa Steph.
In 2nd place with 45 points, former three time winner Fa LaLa LaLa.
All three of those positions and only a few points between them. We also had AJH 88 only a few points behind at 41, CathyClaus at 39 and Last Can of Who Hash and Santa and his Elves both at 38 . What a close race to the end!
That brings us to our winner though. With 48 points this season.....2 CranBillys 2 Forgetful 2 time winner!
Fun Fact: In Ireland, Boxing day is sometimes known as Wren Day.
