When every song from the Red One soundtrack plays in the movie
Red One features 7 soundtrack songs
“Here Comes Santa Claus” by Ray Conniff: Red opens with a classic Ray Conniff song, instantly establishing the film’s Christmas spirit. The film’s opening scene shows a boy revealing to his cousins the secret that Santa Claus isn’t real, resulting in a scolding from an adult. “Here Comes Santa Claus” starts playing before the film’s opening sceneframing the blockbuster as a Christmas classic.
“Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” by Mariah Carey: Audiences are introduced to JK Simmons’ Santa Claus and The Rock’s character Callum Drift in a scene in a shopping mall. Mariah Carey’s classic Christmas song is playing in the background as the scene switches to the mall and continues as Callum surveys the scene, looking for any potential threats to Santa.
“Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!” by Dean Martin: After the initial intro scene where Callum keeps a social media influencer away from Santa, the film cuts to Callum and Santa walking through the mall. The Dean Martin classic can be heard in the background, playing in the mall as they walk. During this scene, a man at a food stand throws something at Santa, which Callum catches.
“Jingle Bell Rock” by Bobby Helms: After Jack picks up his son, they talk for a bit. As Jack offers the kid some of the worst live advice a parent could give, they stop at a churro stand where “Jingle Bell Rock” is playing in the background. This is another quintessential Christmas classic, but it’s very weak in the film.
Laufey’s “Christmas Magic”: After the fight scene on the beach with the snowmen, the villain’s plan begins. An insufferable looking man (clearly on the naughty list) is walking to his car while being obnoxious on the phone. In his car, he finds a box with the mysterious snow globe, causing it to disappear. “Christmas Magic” is an original song by Laufey made for The Red soundtrack.
“Winterwunderland” by Roland Kaiser: Throughout the film, Callum and Jack use toy store portals to quickly travel around the world. At one point, they travel to a toy store in Germany, where German singer Roland Kaiser’s version of “Winter Wonderland” is playing in the background. This is a 2021 version of the classic Christmas song and can only be heard vaguely in the film.
“Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” by Mariah Carey: The Red the credits go to another Mariah Carey Christmas classic. The music starts playing after Jack asks if they’ve just saved Christmas, and he, his son, Callum and Santa travel up to the clouds, celebrating their victory. “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” is a classic, perfectly suited as the athletic version of Santa Claus in Red He has just completed his journey of the year.
