Though based on the melody of the Ukrainian New Year's song "Shchedryk", "Carol of the Bells" is among the most iconic Christmas Songs ever written. Its unique sound with its fast tempo and minor key makes it a prime song to use to get the blood pumping... especially if it's a twisted or ass-kicking Christmas. Since the song is in the Public Domain (mostly), it's ripe for use in soundtracks and scores during the action or the suspense to give the listeners a rush of adrenaline while tying into the probable Christmas theme the work has (the fact that the core motif's pitch relationships perfectly mirror that of the start of the Dies irae Gregorian chant probably doesn't hurt, either). As it is a well-recognized piece of Public Domain Soundtrack that is easily recognizable and easy to utilize, it is commonly a Standard Snippet; for this trope, it must be used in a manner that invokes senses of urgency, suspense, action, or dread. See also For Doom the Bell Tolls, Deathly Dies Irae. |

"Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" is an instrumental medley of "Shchedryk" and "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen", originally by Savatage (from their album Dead Winter Dead) and more famously covered by their spinoff Trans-Siberian Orchestra (from their album Christmas Eve and Other Stories). Both versions represent the story of a classical cellist who returns to his home of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War, and protests the war by playing his instrument in the city square, in defiance of the bombs dropping around him. (This was inspired by the real story of Vedran Smailović.) | |

In the first Home Alone movie, a choir-sung "Carol of the Bells" transitions into the John Williams composition "Setting the Trap" — which is heavily influenced by the aforementioned carol — as Kevin McCallister booby-traps his house in preparation for the villains' arrival. It makes an encore appearance in the sequel, forming a Mood Whiplash with a preceding tear-jerking moment with "Christmas Star" playing. | |
