From "Oh du fröhliche" to "Feliz Navidad": there is hardly a time more characterized by music than that between the first Advent and New Year. But why? What if we played heavy metal instead of peaceful sounds? And what do the "Guardians of the Galaxy" have to do with it?

Did you also sing well under the Christmas tree? "Es wird scho glei dumpa" perhaps? Or are you more of a "Jingle Bells" fan? The tenor of the Krone+ editorial team is clear on at least one thing: "Last Christmas" is the most annoying song of the festive season.
