I like the idea but this is unpleasant to look at.
The amount of Red and Green is a bit much.
I think this is one red/green chart where being colourblind might be advantageous.
The labels being all over the place.
Labels hiding the data!
Axis repeating the title.

I actually agree with you. I was going for a Christmas theme and it really didn't work out. Normally I'm very restrained in my use of color, and I think I'll go back to that aesthetic.
I also looked at it on my phone after making the post and realized it's hard to read on mobile. I could have dropped the on-bar labels without losing any data, and I could have made it narrower and longer for mobile-friendliness.

Good luck! Try super subtle background colour, sort out the labels, no boxes needed probs, etc. I also recommend Tufte’s book on data vis!
