"This is shooting Counting on Christmas off like, a cliff, with my Not Cannon !" — Match , "HELP US get to VIDCON 2019 "(altered) non-canon . The events described (unless canon) did not happen in the official main BFDI universe.
"Counting on Christmas " is an official BFDI song released on December 16, 2023. This was the third Christmas song to ever be released by Jacknjellify . It is an original song that revolves around the numerous Algebraliens singing a carol about the gifts they respectively wish for on Christmas Day.
Lyrics [ ] [Chorus]
We're counting on a very Merry Christmas, We're counting on a merry holiday! We're counting on each other With all the stuff we want on Christmas Day!
[Verse 1]
Nine :I want a new skateboard and some sunnies .Six :Fourteen :I want to be free, and I want a new TV !Seven :
Fifteen :I want a new shack out in the forest .Ten :I wanna compete in my own show ...Eight :Zero :
[Chorus]
We're counting on a very Merry Christmas, We're counting on a merry holiday! We're counting on each other With all the stuff we want on Christmas Day!
[Verse 2]
Two :Four :I want my contestants back from you! X :Four and Two :
Five :Seven :Five :Eight :Six :Fourteen :All except Four and Fourteen: NO!
[Chorus]
We're counting on a very Merry Christmas, We're counting on a merry holiday! We're counting on each other
to not make poor Santa sufferWith all the stuff we want on Christmas Day!
All: Hooray!

Trivia [ ] A lot of the song's lyrics are references to previous continuity, in one way or another.
Nine wanting a new skateboard and sunglasses is a reference to Thanks for 1,500,000 Subscribers! , where Fifteen takes his original pair after Nine and Six were summed together to form a fake Fifteen.Fifteen wishing for a new shack in the forest also references the aforementioned short.Fourteen is currently serving his time updating the subscriber count, therefore contextualizing his wish to be free.Fourteen saying he "really, really, really wants a fork" could be a reference to the recurring gag of him eating people's skin (a lot of fan-made depictions of this also show him eating skin with a fork, adding to the reference). It could also be a reference to Gelatin and his fork throwing tendencies.
Four 's wish is an obvious reference to the sixteenth episode of Battle for BFDI , "The Escape from Four ", in which Two persuades a large chunk of Four's original contestants to compete in their own show, The Power of Two. Eight 's wish is a reference to most of his appearances, where he is seen playing Go Fish with Six and Seven.
Similar to their two previous Christmas songs, Jacknjellify made a Twitter post asking others to submit fan-art to appear in the song's YouTube music video.
Nine's eyes are closed throughout the entire video, except when they say "Hooray" at the end of the song.
One and Three are the only single-digit algebralians that do not show up or sing for the video, though they are depicted in some of the fanart showcased here.
