Why I spent summer in a Christmas jumper

It's a formula that seems almost impossible to crack but if you succeed, it could set you up for life.

After pressing the game Players will never be สมัครสมาชิก SLOTXO able to guess what form the image symbols will run out of.

No, we don't mean guessing the right lottery numbers (although that would be nice too), we're talking about writing the perfect Christmas song.

Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas is You has reportedly earned her £500,000 every year since it came out in 1994 - and that's just in the UK.

When songs do well in the charts, they're mostly forgotten about after a few months, but the same Christmas songs are wheeled out every year, often before we've even opened our first Advent calendar window.


'Put your heart into it'
It's tough to get all the elements right - something George Ezra wrestled with while working on his first festive track, Come on Home for Christmas, this year.

"I think it's like the golden snitch," he tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.

"With Christmas songs you can't phone it in, so you have to have time to be able to approach being a part of a Christmas song.

"And this might sound quite cheesy, but I think you've got to believe in it, put your heart into it - Christmas is about that, isn't it?"

The singer, who's been working on a new album this year, has released a reworked version of a 1960s Christmas song by Charles Brown in November.


'Hard to find mince pies in summer'
Tre Jean Marie is a pop producer and song writer, who's worked on Little Mix and Mabel's Christmas tracks.

Like George, he gets in the festive mood in the summer with a bit of studio decoration.

"We get a tree, there's tinsel - the only thing that's hard to get hold of is mince pies".

He says he loves producing festive songs because you have "the freedom to do anything".
