It's for extra credit in band, but I'm having a hard time figuring out the answer.

Ok, the only hints she gave us was that it wasn't "they both have an 'e' in the name".
She brought up the question because we're playing a song called "Ho Ho Hoedown" for a concert and it has both songs intergrated in it.

Hmmm ... both melodies are in the same range, between the tonic and the 5th ... and both of them start on the 3rd, and end on the tonic ... and they're both in 4/4 ... and they both have a "J" in the title ...
Just guessing here ... I have no idea what your teacher's thinking.

They were both composed by the same person, or at elast jingle bellls melody was. Ode to Joy is really Opus 49, look it up

They are both ummmmm songs. There is your connection. Some people think its pleasure to the ear others will find it quite annoying and distasteful. It is music. Your music teacher is crazy.

They both have the same tempo. They are both in the same musical time.
