Fetch loves getting to know its users, and what a fun time to understand what makes the holidays special for Fetchers! As part of our Holiday Points Party giveaway across our Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook Channels, we asked our followers for their favorite Christmas songs, movies, and foods. Their favorites overlapped so much with ours – listening to All I Want for Christmas by Mariah Carey, with Home Alone playing in the background, while noshing on some cookies. But there was also some divergence: Krampus as a favorite Christmas movie? Pass.
Animated or live-action, Fetchers were in the mood for feel good stories and redemptive story arcs. Easily the most beloved holiday movie was Home Alone, followed by the Grinch, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, and the Polar Express. Watching these, your heart is guaranteed to “grow three sizes.”
Whether swaying gently to melodic Christmas carols or jamming out around the Christmas tree, Fetchers got their groove on to a variety of beats. Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas, of course, topped the list. Other favorite songs were classic Christmas carols: Silent Night, Jingle Bells, Holy Night, Little Drummer Boy, alongside songs like Jingle Bell Rock, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, and Santa, Baby.
It’s not the holiday season without food, and Fetchers loved diving into cookies (Christmas, gingerbread, peanut butter, spritz, chocolate chip, sugar, snowball, thumbprint – we love them all too), casseroles (corn, broccoli, breakfast, hashbrown, sweet potato, green bean), potatoes (potato salad, mashed, scalloped, latkes, garlic, au gratin, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, sweet potato souffle – I’ve never met a potato I didn’t like), pie (pumpkin, pecan, apple, sweet potato, chocolate, cherry, peanut butter), tamales, and cheese (mac and cheese, baked mac and cheese, cheese balls, or cheese boards).
Thank you, Fetchers, for sharing your holiday picks. Enjoy this time of year with all of your favorite things, and keep snappin’ while you do!
