Henry Selick and Tim Burton made a wonderful scary and festive film "The Nightmare Before Christmas" long time ago. There are many good songs, including "This is Halloween", but these days we'd better listen to and sing "What's this?". It's written and sung by Danny Elfman as Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin king, when he discovers a snowy and happy town. Everyone prepares to Christmas there and the atmosphere is incredibly cheerful. Jack wonders why all those creatures are dressing their trees, baking pies and caroling, until he understands how beautiful all of this is.
My favorite part:
Oh, look
What's this?
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspired
What's this?

There is also a good version sung by Fall Out Boy.
If you like this song either, you can try to sing karaoke.
What is your favourite Christmas song from a film?
