Snowflake Challenge 12

Challenge 12 is Create a Rec Countdown.

I tried to do this challenge following the suggested wording of "x everyone should x" and found it was actually impossible for me. The overly literal part of my brain kept going, "Does everyone have to try this, though? Surely it simply isn't of value to some people. This seems so aggressive." So I'm trying to just ignore that part of my brain and will try reccing stuff just from vibes and enthusiasm. It's also hard for me not to just rec the same things I did in previous years, because to be honest I am very slow to pick up new favorite things, so the categories are a little weird this time.
