Merry Christmas From The Happy Chipmunks: A Cheesy Holiday Treat That Sticks to Your Brain Like Tinsel on a Cat Let’s get one thing straight—The Happy Chipmunks are not here to mess around. This 1982 holiday gem (or should I say "chipmunk-shaped earworm grenade") is packed with enough chirpy vocals and jingle-bell cheer to make even the Grinch crack a smile. And yeah, it's got that novelty vibe so strong you can practically smell the pine needles and cheap wrapping paper. First off, let’s talk about Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree. Oh man, this track hits like a sugar rush at your grandma's cookie table. It’s impossible not to bob your head along as these high-pitched critters belt out lines faster than you can say “alvinandthechipmunksbutdifferent!” There’s something oddly charming about how they manage to turn what could’ve been just another carol into an anthem for anyone who loves awkward family sing-alongs. You know the type—the kind where Uncle Bob insists on playing air guitar while Aunt Karen clutches her eggnog like it’s liquid courage. Then there’s I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, which might be my favorite because... well, isn’t everyone curious about what really goes down under the mistletoe? The chipmunks deliver this classic with all the dramatic flair of a soap opera star discovering their secret twin. It’s goofy, over-the-top, and somehow still wholesome enough to remind me why I tolerate holidays despite the chaos. Bonus points for making me wonder if Santa ever files restraining orders. Sure, some tracks feel like filler (ahem, looking at you, Silver Bells), but overall, this album nails its mission: cheesy fun wrapped up in shiny vocal harmonies. With genres spanning Children’s, Non-Music, and Pop—and styles leaning hard into Novelty and Vocal—you won’t find deep lyrical genius here. But honestly? Who cares when you’ve got chipmunks squeaking through timeless tunes? Released across the UK, Canada, and the US under various Holiday labels, this record feels like the musical equivalent of finding a dusty ornament from decades past—it’s nostalgic, slightly weird, and oddly comforting. Plus, listening to it makes me realize that maybe we don’t need perfection in our holiday music; sometimes, we just need something loud, silly, and unapologetically festive. So here’s the kicker: after spinning this album, I now understand why squirrels hoard nuts—they’re probably saving them to throw at anyone who dares play Winter Wonderland more than twice in a row. Merry chaos, folks!

Notes

  • These are not the famous Chipmunks, no mention of David Seville or Ross Bagdasarian.
  • Some copies may have factory applied sticker over artist name on front cover replacing Happy Chipmunks text, with replacement text saying "Happy Hamsters" (likely after being threatened with legal action from the actual Chipmunks / David Seville) making title "Merry Christmas From The Happy Hamsters" (back cover and labels are not changed).
  • 1st catalog number is on the insert, the 2nd is on the cassette.

About The Happy Chipmunks

The Happy Chipmunks were an attempt by a company in Rahway, NJ to cash in on the renewed interest in in the 1980s. Following a lawsuit by Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. over use of the word "Chipmunks" in their name, the group was renamed The Happy Hamsters.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: In 1982, a quirky album called *Merry Christmas From The Happy Chipmunks* hit shelves in the UK, Canada, and the US. It wasn’t your typical holiday record. Imagine chipmunks singing classics like *"Winter Wonderland"* and *"Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree"* in their signature high-pitched voices. Yep, it was as wild as it sounds. The album blended novelty and vocal styles, making it a weirdly delightful listen for kids and families. And get this—it was released under the *Holiday* label, which feels pretty fitting for a Christmas-themed chipmunk extravaganza. Definitely a festive oddity worth noting!
