Get all your Christmas viewing done at once with help from the Eclectic Method

Let’s face it. It’s December 8 already. Those who haven’t gotten a good head start on watching all the classic Christmas movies and TV episodes by now should either start binge-watching—forsaking work, school, and social interaction in the process—or look for some time-saving shortcuts. Self-described “digital outlaw” and video remixer Eclectic Method, who specializes in “splic[ing] together music, TV and film and set[ting] it to high-energy dance beats,” has done the public a great service by creating “Christmas Spirit,” a catchy, two-and-a-half-minute roundup of Yuletide highlights from Elf, Scrooged, It’s A Wonderful Life, Jingle All The Way, South Park, Home Alone, Gremlins, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Die Hard, Frosty The Snowman, and more. Watching this one video takes care of about 75 percent of the Christmas canon in one fell swoop. A Christmas Story is absent, but that runs for an entire day on television, so just catch it then.
