Are you Alias in disguise, Alices?

A Fairytale of NY ,Pogues & Kirsty
Spaceman , Chris De Lady in Red
Lonely this Christmas, Wet Soil

Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Showaddywaddy - Hey Mr Christmas
T - Rex - Christmas Box

I used to play Sunday morning football with one of Showwaddywaddy, he was rubbish but his sons both played professionally.

1. Flying Pickets - Only You.
2. Andy Williams - It's the most wonderful time of the year.
3. Low - Just like Christmas.

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.
