Would you karaoke in front of a large audience full of strangers? To find out, Heineken has issued its newest challenge by putting a spin on the holiday traditions of singing holiday carols and singing karaoke. Here’s what happened when the brand challenged people to go outside their comfort zone and sing holiday carols that will potentially go viral. The Carol Karaoke stunt video, is a social experiment that puts real people into the “would you or wouldn’t you” conundrum for a chance to become famous. Before you watch keep this fact in mind: more than 2 in 5 (44%) Americans* think it would be less embarrassing to sing karaoke in front of strangers than friends and family, according to a recent survey by Wakefield Research for Heineken.

To prep your readers for their debut this holiday season (because no one wants to be this person at the karaoke holiday party), we also have tips from karaoke aficionado and third-time memoirist Rob Sheffield, author of Turn Around Bright Eyes: The Rituals of Love and Karaoke, on how to rock the mike at the next holiday office party – and can elaborate on the below…
