Reviews for "Oldies for a Cool Christmas"
From the LA Times
A cozy oldtime rock'n'roll-style family collection... performed by adults and a gaggle of kids, and wrapped up with comic and sweet vignettes of a family at Christmas, songs include the familiar "Jingle Bell Rock," "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," and "Little St. Nick'." You'll also find among other engaging selections, "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" and "Daddy Cool Yule" ('Please Daddy Cool wouldja sing me a Yuletide Lullaby?') with references to Santa's '57 Chevy Sleigh, Motown and Buddy Holly.

From the Film Advisory Board
A really upbeat holiday classic for the whole family to enjoy.
