Released on vinyl by a small independent label, the album features 14 tracks blending upbeat rhythms and humorous twists on staples like Frosty the Snowman and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, aiming to bring a fresh, danceable vibe to seasonal music during the tail end of the disco era. Historically, it stands out as a novelty recording that captured the late-1970s/early-1980s trend of injecting pop and funk into traditional carols, predating similar efforts by artists like The Waitresses or modern holiday remakes. The album has endured as a cult favorite among collectors of kitschy vinyl, keeping its groovy spirit alive. Tracks like Sleigh Ridin' and Santa Is Discoin' To Town Tonight highlight its energetic, party-ready appeal.
