The Christmas Jug Band

**The Christmas Jug Band** is a festive, fun-loving crew that’s been spreading holiday cheer with their quirky, bluesy take on Christmas music since the 1980s. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, the band mixes jug band traditions with humor and irreverent yuletide spirit, blending kazoos, washboards, and twangy guitars into their merry chaos. Known for tracks like “Santa Don’t Go There” and “I’m Stuffing the Bird,” they’ve carved out a niche as the go-to group for listeners craving Christmas tunes with a side of sly wit and rootsy charm.

Their releases, including *Christmas on the Moon* and *Live from the West Pole*, showcase their playful style, often poking fun at holiday stress and consumerism while celebrating the season’s joys. Though they’ve never chased mainstream fame, their cult following grows yearly, thanks to their live shows and albums that feel like a raucous holiday party packed into song. If you dig your eggnog spiked with a little mischief, these jingle-jangle rebels are your soundtrack.
