The video to "Last Christmas" directed by 

Andrew Morahan, shows Wham! members 

George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley 

accompanying girlfriends to see friends 

at an unspecified ski resort cottage: the 

cable car that can be seen in two shots is 

from Switzerland, where the video was filmed.

It becomes clear early on that the character of 

Ridgeley's girlfriend (played by model Kathy 

Hill) was previously in a relationship with 

Michael and that the song is aimed at her. 

She can be spotted throughout the video by 

the fact that she is usually wearing red, but 

everyone else is wearing more muted colors.

There is a brief flashback to a prior Christmas, 

showing Michael's character presenting Kathy 

Hill's character with a brooch. In the present 

time, Ridgeley is wearing the brooch, suggesting 

that Hill gave the same gift (perhaps by regifting it)

 to her new love after she and Michael parted ways. 

When Hill wears the brooch after receiving it from 

Michael's character, it is "right side up", and when 

Ridgeley's character wears it, he wears it 

"upside down". On numerous occasions, Michael 

presents a thoughtful expression, suggesting his 

conflicting emotions. As Michael is decorating the 

Christmas tree some decoration falls to the floor 

where Michael's ex-girlfriend is sitting and the

 ex-couple shares a few seconds of a knowing 

look at each other.

Her seeming indifference to Ridgeley's open displays 

of affection makes the viewer wonder if Ridgeley's 

heart is the next to be broken. At the end of the video, 

everyone leaves the cottage and when the group get 

out of the cable- car, they are all properly "paired off" 

with Michael and his new girlfriend looking happy.
