It's most definitely a Christmas classic and generally we don't like anyone to mess with it!
However Ed Sheeran and Anne Marie have made the brave move of covering Fairytale of New York, as part of BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.
Here are some snippets of the performance - how do you reckon they did?
It's a HUGE Christmas song, but they did it! ✨@EdSheeran, @AnneMarieIAm and @beogamusic totally nailed their cover of Fairytale of New York ❤️ pic.twitter.com/DN1XIL0crF

(Shoutout Anne-Marie for getting "Merry Christmas you mug!" into the lyrics ?) pic.twitter.com/QcKC5owyH8— BBC Radio 1 (@BBCR1) December 12, 2017
