Just because it was released 16 years ago doesn't mean it isn't still a bop. Nothing screams Christmas spirit like jamming to your favorite Christmas music. While I appreciate the classics like no one else, sometimes celebrities do incredible covers. One of my favorite celebrity Christmas songs is Luke Bryan's "Run Run Rudolph."

Luke Bryan's "Run Run Rudolph" Is Still Incredible
If you want to feel jolly and bright I highly recommend listening to Luke Bryan's "Run Run Rudolph". It is also the perfect song if you are like me, and are running around doing last minute Christmas shopping. It makes me resonate with the lyrics even more, because I too and running, trying to make it before Santa comes to town.
The song starts off with some great drum beats and guitar strums. Even before Bryan starts to sing, the overall vibe of this song is fast-paced, cheery, and uplifting. While the beats mimic the original version by Chuck Berry, there is a certain twang to Bryan's version.
The lyrics are comical, and something I feel that most of us can relate to.
"Run run Rudolph
Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Run run Rudolph
I'm feeling like a merry go round"
I feel like a merry go round as I frantically finish my shopping. Regardless of whether you are a last minute shopper like me, or just baking some holiday cookies, this is the perfect song to get you in the holiday spirit.
Friendly Christmas Competition
While I adore Luke Bryan's version of the song, I also love the original version by Chuck Berry. Take a listen and see which one lights that Christmas fire in your heart. Listening to both is like double the fun.
