ABOVE: Watch the made-in-Toronto video for “Text Me Merry Christmas.”
TORONTO — OMG it’s a Christmas song for a new generation. LOL :)
Actress Kristen Bell and a cappella group Straight No Chaser teamed up to record “Text Me Merry Christmas,” a festive tune that celebrates the season and modern communication.
The video for the song, which debuted online Tuesday, was made in Toronto by Cuppa Coffee Studios.
It was directed by Adam Shaheen and Chris Morris and took a crew of eight artists 17 days to complete.
“I’ll be right here waiting / For my pants to start vibrating,” Bell sings.
In the song, the 34-year-old actress sings about texts, emojis, Snapchats, tweets and Facebook messages.
“I don’t care if you spell things right / I just want to hear from you tonight / Stroke those keys with your delicate touch / And type those little words that mean so much.”
The song debuted Nov. 17 with a lyric video that has been viewed more than 3.2 million times.
Bell voiced Anna in the blockbuster Frozen, in which she sang songs including “Do You Want to Build a Snowman.”
