WHEN CHRISTMAS CAROLS GO DESI

Santa Claus dancing the bhangra, flipping to Bhojpuri beats, and swapping his trademark "Ho Ho Ho" for a hearty "Ha Ha Ha" – yes, you read that right. This Christmas, the carols have taken a hilarious, regional twist, adding a much-needed desi flavour to the festive cheer.

If you're scrolling through Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or Facebook this season, you'll find yourself flooded with a riot of regional Christmas carols. Forget Bing Crosby – it's time for Bhojpuri, Punjabi, and Hindi versions to steal the show.
