The Famous Five’s Favourite Christmas Songs Answers

No of the week this week, I thought it was time to share the answers from my quiz/fanfic from a few years ago. It’s not too late to have a go – I’ll put the answers below the link.

Spot the Famous Five’s favourite Christmas songs

Bearing in mind I wrote this in 2020 and never made a note of the answers, I can’t guarantee that these are the 22 answers I intended. It’s possible that there are more than 22 if I inadvertently used wording that matches a Christmas song title. But anyway, here are 22 songs that do appear in it and who they are by. (Some have been covered many times so the artist listed is just the version I know best).
