hello and welcome to topics where we
count down the very best that YouTube
has to offer
this week we’re counting down our picks
for the top ten feel-good Christmas
YouTube videos for this list we’re
looking at the most heartwarming and
feel-good videos inspired by the holiday
season we ranked our list using a
combination of different factors
including personal preference views and
votes from our users if Christmas
commercialism has got you feeling down
check these videos out to remind
yourself that there’s more to Christmas
than food and presence number 10 silent
night meow
[Music]
kicking off our list is something
entirely new and original a cat video
okay so YouTube may not be at a loss for
cat videos but this clip earns a spot on
our list with its creative simplicity
[Music]
essentially multiple cats are edited
together to make it seem as though
they’re performing the classic Christmas
carols silent night and it is perfect
[Music]
other videos have tried to accomplish
the same thing and one even added dogs
to create a balanced melody of Feliz
Navidad
[Music]
but this silent night’ rendition stands
the test of time and is just as funny
now as it was when it was uploaded in
2006
number nine best of Star Wars music
lightshow home featured on ABC’s great
Christmas light fight
[Music]
it’s hard to beat the combination of
Christmas and Star Wars if you can’t
wait for the release of the force
awakens this video may be able to tide
you over
[Music]
this light display has absolutely
everything the colors change depending
on the tone of the music and they even
incorporate sound effects from the film
such as gunfire from the epic space
battles and the iconic sound of swinging
lightsabers as cool as this setup is
however we’re just thankful we aren’t
neighbors with these people
seriously how would you possibly get any
sleep with that noise light and
excitement
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
number eight Carlson School of
Management flashmob deck the halls’
who doesn’t love a good flashmob
students from the Carlson School of
Management at the University of
Minnesota are the ones who put this
production together proving that
business students also have a creative
side
as most flashmobs do this one begins
slowly with a lone student playing the
saxophone we know something’s up however
when the person who appears to be
donating money to the lonely player
begins to sing along and others soon
join her what follows is a beautiful
rendition of deck the halls’ that sees
even the security guard get in on the
act
[Applause]
[Music]
number seven mary did you know
Pentatonix mary did you know
[Music]
Paget onyx captured the hearts of
millions back in 2011 when they won the
third season of The Sing Off and they
haven’t let up since building a massive
online fanbase
[Music]
the acapella groups rendition of Mary
did you know which appears on their
second Christmas album currently sits as
their eighth most viewed video on
YouTube the track was a critical and
commercial success peaking at number 26
on the US Billboard Hot 100
[Music]
the video itself is definitely simple as
it shows the members each holding a
single candle while singing in a lightly
lit cave giving the depth of the song
and its meaning the attention it
deserves
[Applause]
number six Santa parkour have you ever
wondered how Santa Claus gets to all
those houses in just one night
he uses parkour of course
[Music]
at least according to Ronnie Street
stunts in this video the typical
Christmas carol is replaced by dubstep
as Santa leaps climbs and backflips his
way around town
[Music]
unfortunately all of Santa’s physical
talent and coordination can’t save him
from the ultimate weapon surprise in a
scene that feels like it came straight
out of a movie mm-hmm the Santa Claus
jolly old Saint Nick gets distracted by
a little boy and falls off the roof
leaving nothing but an empty red suit
behind
[Music]
number five angels we have heard on high
Christmas with 32 fingers and eight
thumbs
the setting for this video just screams
Christmas from the model train set to
the miniature skating rink to the
classic Christmas tree surrounded by
gifts
[Music]
of course we also have to mention the
song as the guys come together to
produce a stunning rendition of angels
we have heard on high with all playing
the same piano
the following year the boys decided to
build on their success and made another
video for the same Carol this time with
words and a record-breaking 1,000 person
nativity play production to go along
with it
[Music]
the piano guys seems to truly capture
the meaning of Christmas in both of
these videos which is why they earn a
spot on our list number four Christmas
surprise traffic stop with Lowell police
what if we could change that person’s
day in real time what if we could change
that person’s day – right now let’s face
it getting pulled over by the police can
be a frustrating experience especially
for a speeding ticket but how would you
react if you were pulled over by Santa
Claus that’s essentially the setup for
this video
officers from the Lowell Police
Department pulled over unsuspecting
speeding people for the sole reason of
giving them Christmas presents they
spared no expense seriously some of the
gifts included an Xbox one and a brand
new flat-screen television we can’t help
but wonder however if the city of Lowell
saw a dramatic spike in speeding
violations as a result I’ve been pulled
over by police officer Warren a boys
number three epic Christmas caroling one
Christmas tradition that seems to have
gone by the wayside in the modern era is
Christmas caroling something which the
performance art group Improv Everywhere
sought to rectify in this video at first
we see a group of carolers straight out
of the world of Dickens singing to a
surprised family on their doorstep this
quickly escalates however as an entire
Orchestra soon shows up on their front
lawn and begins to play
[Music]
to top it off several Santa’s and
snowmen show up and begin to dance even
bringing their own snow giving this
family a feel-good moment they will
never forget
number two the digital story of the
Nativity whether you’re religious or not
almost everyone knows the story of the
birth of Jesus on Christmas but what if
the story happened in the modern era
what would have been different
[Music]
well we certainly find out in this video
naturally the angel Gabriel texts Mary
to tell her she will give birth to the
Son of God which causes Mary to
immediately read up on the Holy Spirit
on Wikipedia before emailing Joseph if
you couldn’t make the birth don’t sweat
it
Joseph live tweets the entire event and
even posts on Facebook
[Music]
this video does an amazing job of
capturing the idea that even though
times change the story of Christmas
remains the same
[Music]
before we get to our top pick here are
some honorable mentions
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
number one Nintendo 64 everyone knows
how exciting it is to open presents on
Christmas morning and how incredible it
can be to discover that Santa got you
the perfect gift
but this kid takes it to a whole new
level this video takes us back to
Christmas morning in 1998 when a young
boy named Brandon Kuzma opens his
present only to discover to his delight
that he’s been given a Nintendo 64 the
kid goes absolutely berserk fist-pumping
not once not twice but six times the
look in his eyes when he first realizes
what he received is both hilarious and
slightly terrifying we only hope his
sister got a chance to play that’s it
