Those wacky chaps from Canada (it must be the air up there) are as irascible and hilarious as ever on this festive recording. 'Jingle Bell Rock' features the steady clanging of 'bells' and a string bending 'guitar' intro. Sliding in and out of notes like tobaggoners on snowpack, the harmonies are confident and the rhythms swing. 'Little Saint Nick' is reminiscent of the soaring voices of the Beach Boys, 'Do You Hear What I Hear' is a soulful wail, finger-snapping 'Little Drummer Boy' a percussive rave. The doo-wop stylings of 'Please Santa Be Real' implore with true sweetness-c'mon, Santa!
