The Festive Funk Machine from MOO is a fun music-making machine that features a bunch of clickable robots that make different sounds. Visitors to the [Festive Funk Machine website](http://us.moo.com/merrymusic/) have the chance to click on robots that sing in auto-tune, festive caroling bots, loud rapper robots and cute toy piano players as well as a number of other musical instruments to accompany them. There are a total of 20 clickable icons on the site, which makes for a ton of combinations for the musical jams you could come up with.

More of the adorable red and green robot characters also make an appearance on MOO's [advent calendar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festivitas-app) this year, which makes the Festive Funk Machine a fun way to pass some time as the days draw closer and closer to Christmas.
