# Sarcastically Remixed Carols This Remix of Merry Christmas is for Those with December Birthdays By Jonathon Brown | Published 2012-12-16 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/december-birthdays References: [ibelieveinadv](http://www.ibelieveinadv.com/2012/12/chupa-chups-sucks-to-be-born-at-christmas/) & [youtu.be](http://youtu.be/sJlhnu__-w0) Chupa Chups serves up a special Christmas carol for all those with December birthdays this year. It can be a bit anti-climactic for those with December birthdays since they have to compete with all the Christmas festivities. Oftentimes, someone with a December birthday gets a bit less because their friends and family have already spent money on [Christmas gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magical-moments) too. It can leave some people born late in the year more than a little bitter. This hilarious Christmas carol/happy birthday song mash up is delivered with such over the top, fake cheer that it comes off sarcastic and almost patronizing. The singer sings with a smile, but merges the words "merry Christmas" with "happy birthday" to become "merry birthmas." It's all about taking things in stride and not getting too serious about life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sarcastic Remixes:** More companies will create sarcastic remixes to reposition and promote their products in a humorous way. - **Personalized Celebrations:** Personalized celebratory products may be created to cater to specific groups such as those with December birthdays. - **Humorous Birthday Songs:** Humorous birthday songs may trend in the music industry to bring fun and laughter to a traditionally somber event. ### Where This Applies - **Greeting Cards:** Greeting card companies may start offering sarcastic remix cards to appeal to a younger audience that appreciates humor and irony in their greeting cards. - **Party Supplies:** This trend may influence the development of a new category of products of birthday party supplies personalized for those with December birthdays. - **Music:** Musicians may start creating satirical songs to cultivate a new fan base that enjoys satirical humor in their music. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized Video Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-cards.md) - [Festive Shoppable Choirs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoppable-choir.md) - [Comedic Christmas Parodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad.md) - [Festive Digital Musician Greetings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatacard-greetings.md) - [Coal-Shaped Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itsugar-merry-frickn-christmas-box.md) - [Karaoke Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-tree-display.md) - [Celebratory Audio Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tastysounds-audiolollipop.md) - [Holiday Diss Tracks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rizzler.md) - [Remixed Music Soda Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-max-christmas-refreshed.md)
