I know the word cloud isn’t everyone’s favorite, but considering the light-hearted material (and accompanying data table), I thought many would enjoy this.
I took Billboard’s self declared best holiday songs of all time, and did an analysis. Above is a visualized word count of the most frequent words in the lyrics.
This table is here for those who might dislike the visual but want to see some of the data:

There are 96 songs that are involved (since 4 of the 100 songs are instrumentals without words). It’s not entirely unpredictable, but brought me some joy nonetheless.
