Last Christmas was originally released by Wham! in 1984 and has become one of the most replayed festive songs every December. Drill remixes later reimagined its familiar chorus over UK drill production, a style that grew popular on TikTok and YouTube through short edits, transitions and meme videos. Because the melody is instantly recognisable even under heavy bass, creators return to it each holiday season for a joke that needs no explanation. Its short length also makes it easy to loop, cut or drop into a single clip.

A drill remix of Wham!'s Last Christmas that turns the festive classic into a hard-hitting UK beat, popular for holiday memes, edits and short videos.
This thirteen-second clip reworks Wham!'s Last Christmas into a UK drill track, swapping the original's soft synth-pop warmth for sliding 808 bass, sharp hi-hats and a punchy, trap-influenced drum pattern while keeping the familiar festive melody recognisable underneath. The contrast is the joke and the hook at once: a cosy Christmas chorus suddenly sounds streetwise, confident and slightly menacing, which makes it land instantly in short edits. It feels energetic, cheeky and seasonal without losing the nostalgia of the original song, so viewers recognise it in a second and expect something funny, dramatic or unexpected to follow.
