We’ve heard country Christmas songs before — but never like this.
Thanks to one wildly creative DJ, Ella Langley’s heartbreak anthem “Choosin’ Texas” is going viral all over again — but this time, it’s wrapped in shimmering synths and pure ‘80s nostalgia.
Yep, someone mashed it up with Wham!’s “Last Christmas” — and against all odds, it’s absolutely incredible.
The Mashup We Never Knew We Needed
The brains behind the blend is DJ Vic, who’s built a following on TikTok for mixing genres in totally unexpected ways. But this one? It’s next level.

As a breakout artist, having one massive hit is sort of a mixed blessing. So it is with Ella Langley and “You Look Like You Love Me,” a Riley Green duet that was a monster country radio hit in 2024.
