Where the Christmas dance trend song came from
DJ Izzy Duzzit posts mixes of Miami bass, 90s club songs and old-school party records on TikTok. In early December 2025 he posted the Deck the Halls mashup as "holiday cheer with a Bay Area twist", and creators used it through December: a comic video and a run of Christmas mixes that each had passed 450,000 plays by 9 November 2026. At Christmas he thanked everyone who used it.
In November 2026 it came back as the Christmas dance sound: the duo routine posted on 2 November, Brooke Monk’s take and the mother and daughter in the kitchen all play the same audio; we lined their soundtracks up and they match. Some takes are posted with the creator’s own copy of the sound, so their sound name differs while the song is the same.
The two songs inside the mashup
| Deck the Halls | Blow the Whistle | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A Christmas carol | A rap single by Too Short |
| When | Welsh tune, much older than its 1794 publication; English words from 1862 | Released as a single in March 2006 |
| Who | Welsh melody "Nos Galan"; English words by the Scottish musician Thomas Oliphant | Too Short, produced by Lil Jon |
| Known from | Sung in English since the 1860s | The title track of his 2006 album, which reached number 14 on the Billboard 200 |

How to use the Deck the Halls mashup
- On TikTok: open a Christmas dance trend post, tap the sound name at the bottom, then use the sound; or open the sound’s page directly. Using the sound itself credits DJ Izzy Duzzit and puts your post on the sound’s page.
- In CapCut: Christmas dance templates come with the sound already on them.
- With AI: the Christmas dance AI effect on RapVideo puts the two of you in the dance, with the same mashup on the finished MP4, 15 seconds as it plays in the take we follow.
- Outside TikTok: a web search on 9 November 2026 found no release of the mashup outside TikTok, so a video you post elsewhere may need its own music.
We tested it on 9 November 2026 with photos of two AI-made people at 480p: both kept their own faces, hair and clothes for all 15 seconds, and every move of the dance landed on the beat. The only free part of RapVideo is one 2-second watermarked preview per Google account, of the default Hotel Lobby video, the Bulin 47 Freestyle or Tiny Desk; everything else is paid with credits.
