(Henry mimics beeping)
- Hey guys, it's Henry Golding from "Last Christmas."
I am going to be playing with Buzzfeed
Sleigh or Nay.
(upbeat Christmas music)
Right, first up.
Christmas music before December?
Definitely a sleigh.
November comes around, you have literal license
to play any musical sort of Christmas-y song you wish,
and I expect "Last Christmas" to be blaring
in every shop that I walk into,
because that's usually when you know
that it's time to start buying presents.
I've heard it my entire life,
so to be doing a film which is essentially
created around the lyrics of "Last Christmas,"
it has given me a renewed sense of love for George Michael
and his music in general.
Car costumes.
We do like a little bit of car costumes, I think.
I don't know how safe they are,
but there's antlers.
I would say sleigh.
Because, why not?
It's Christmas, you can literally get away
with the ugliest sweaters on earth.
Why not dress your car all stupid-like?
Next question: ugly sweaters?
Ugly Christmas sweaters, definitely a sleigh.
I think the uglier, the better.
The more ironic, the more fantastic.
You are amiss if you don't have anything
stupendously disgusting on whilst opening your presents.
'Cause I've been in Asia for the past 10 years
and it's very hot on Christmas Day (chuckles) around, so,
this year hopefully I'll get an ugly Christmas sweater.
Black Friday shopping, massive nay.
Consumerism at its worst.
They drive you to spend money that you don't need to spend
on a day which you should be relaxing
and enjoying your time with your family and friends,
going to the cinema, watching,
I think this year's the new "Star Wars" is out,
that's gonna be amazing, and "Jumanji," and all sorts.
Don't do Black Friday shopping, guys.
You're better than that.
Caroling.
Sleigh.
I mean, who doesn't love Christmas carolers?
I don't think I've ever been a part.
I think as a kid I tried to just get some extra money
with a friend and sing terrible sort of Christmas carols.
A youngster trying to get some extra pocket money.
But they do a good job
and they're there to bring the festive spirit.
So, sleigh.
Secret Santa / white elephants.
I actually do Secret Santa gifts when I'm with my friends,
so I would say sleigh.
It's the best way not to have to buy 15 presents
so you can just focus on one good present to give somebody
and see their reaction when you bring out something
absolutely ridiculous, so sleigh.
Colored Christmas trees.
Nay.
A Christmas tree has to be green.
It has to be real.
It cannot be bright pink or blue or whatever
with flashy sort of lights embedded.
No, it has to be a nice beautifully-smelling pine
that kind of sheds in your house
and you religiously have to vacuum up after it.
Ecologically speaking, we should be going
for reusable Christmas trees, but,
once a year a real tree.
Decorated beards. (chuckles)
I don't think I've ever come across decorated beards before,
for Christmas, for that matter.
I remember when there was like, what were those?
Merman beards where they put tinsel and glitter.
Those were ridiculously awesome,
so I would say sleigh, why not?
Put a couple bits of tinsel in there.
I wouldn't call this a bear.
I have never grown a beard because I have patches
and it's very difficult and rather depressing
that they don't connect from my hair
to the rest of my face, so.
I've never seen this in my life.
Upside-down Christmas tree, is this a thing?
Why?
For Australians?
Internet, we do know you're like that crazy step-child
that we love to hate, so please,
give up on the upside-down Christmas trees. (laughs)
Nay, for sure.
SantaCon.
They look like they're having so much fun.
How could I say nay to that?
Sleigh?
Christmas weddings.
Nay.
What a way to distract people from a wonderful holiday
than to force them to come to your wedding.
Christmas weddings, no,
there's the rest of the year to do something special,
and Christmas isn't one of those days.
Matching pajamas, yay, for sure.
100%.
Ice skating.
A massive sleigh.
We have a lot of ice skating in the movie.
A very special moment happens on the ice skating ring,
so I would definitely say.
It gets you in the mood,
and especially here in New York
you have the Rockefeller Center
where that iconic skating ring is,
and I've even been there with a big Christmas tree
and the statue and all the hordes and hordes of tourists.
To brave the tourists, I say sleigh.
Kissing under mistletoe.
Sleigh, for sure.
Sometimes it's the only kiss that people get the whole year.
Extravagant Christmas decorations.
Yes, as long as it's not your house, you know what I mean?
As soon as Christmas comes and goes,
you have to unravel and you have to put back
all of those lights, and it's a thing,
and the tangles and the mess...
Actually, I'm veering toward nay.
Not too many extravagant Christmas decorations.
Gingerbread houses.
Nay.
A little bland.
Eggnog, sleigh.
I love a bit of eggnog.
Especially strong eggnog.
They get you sleepy after a big Christmas meal
and you just wanna wrap up in a cozy blanket
and sit by a fire and tell stories and play board games,
which is what we do every Christmas.
There we have it, guys.
Sleigh or Nay with Buzzfeed with me, Henry Golding.
Don't forget, "Last Christmas" is out in cinemas
November 8th.
Go bring your family, your mom, your dad.
Go for a cry, go for a laugh, go for a hug.
It is quit literally the perfect Christmas movie.
Bye!
