A new study commissioned by British multi-mobility app FREE NOW has found only 20 percent of people in Gen Z know the words to Silent Night.

Only 22 percent say they can hum the music to the classic, "Oh Come All Ye Faithful". 10 percent have no idea what a "manger" is.

40 percent of parents say they have made sure that their kids know the lyrics to all the great songs. But, the average person can only think of the names of six traditional Christmas carols.
