Run Rudolph Run — xLights Sequence

Watch the full-length preview on YouTube — the whole song, the whole house, start to finish. Nothing cut.

Chuck Berry’s original, all rock and roll. The equaliser fires on every hook, “freeway down” falls and “merry-go-round” spins on the wreath, a shooting star crosses the house, the electric guitar gets a marquee, and a Sabre jet climbs the mega tree on the word. The columns never sit still.

What you get

• One packaged xLights sequence (.xsqz) — effects, timing tracks, lyric track, and every picture and GIF it references.
• Every prop on the display sequenced. No dark props, no “mega tree only.”
• Our model list, so you know exactly what to point each of your props at.
• Setup help by email if the import doesn’t go the way you expected.

The details

• Runtime — 2:44
• Tempo — 152 BPM
• Feel — Chase
• Format — packaged .xsqz, built in xLights 2026.16

You’ll need the song

The recording is not included with the sequence, and legally it can’t be. Buy the track below (it’s about a dollar), point xLights at your copy the first time you open the sequence, and that’s the last you’ll think about it.

Questions people actually ask

Will it work with my controller?
Yes. A sequence is layout data, not controller data — xLights renders it to an FSEQ that your controller plays. Falcon, Kulp, FPP, xSchedule, a Pi in a weatherproof box: none of it is baked into the file.

I don’t have half these props.
Then map the ones you have and leave the rest unmapped. The song was designed so no single prop carries the beat — drop the wreath and the snowflakes and the canes and the mini trees are still keeping time. If you want a straight answer for your specific layout, email us a screenshot first.

Can I change it?
Change anything you like. It’s your display. Recolour it, cut the bridge, swap our pictures for yours — it’s a normal xLights sequence once it’s open.

What if something’s broken?
Email help@sequenceforge.shop and tell us what you saw. We’ll fix the file and send it back. Because the download opens the moment you pay we can’t take a sequence back, so we’d rather spend the time making yours work than argue about a refund.
