With the news full of woe, war and divisions and following 5 long years of tenuous and increasingly unlistenable sausage roll-themed Christmas number ones, puppet band The Krackpots step up to try and give the UK what it needs: a Proper Christmas Number 1.
Proper Christmas is a love letter to the perfectly imperfect family Christmases of the late 70s and early 80s delivered in an oddly familiar, radio-friendly, sing-a-long Christmas classic like the festive hits of yesteryear, channelling The Krackpots' childhood favourites Chas and Dave, Madness and Slade.
The identity of the band behind The Krackpots, a mystery group with several top 10 hits and millions of streams, is a closely guarded secret, and an intriguing mystery, a bit like Banksy, or Kendo Nagasaki. There is no shady consortium behind Proper Christmas. The Krackpots have funded and produced Proper Christmas themselves, completely independently of any record company or media organisation.
Proper Christmas is available to Download and Stream on all platforms from 8th December 2023. It is released on Official Kulture records.

It's taken months of work and organising to finally bring you this song and video. These memories of childhood family Christmases are such a happy place for us, and we are made up to be able to share them with you.
Record companies spend thousands of pounds on record pluggers and PR to get TV and radio exposure, and the TV and radio usually only cover songs that have big record company backing. You can help us level the playing field. If you like Proper Christmas, please tell someone else!
