1. Mistletoe and Wine - Cliff Richard
2. Stay - East 17
3. All I want - Mariah Carey
The best efforts should be all about trying to exploit Christmas for their own financial gain and trying to come up with something as cheesy as possible. Cliff is the winner because apart from being the cheesiest he also did another one (Saviours day) and he is a god bod.
