A Very Strum-Merry Holiday Jam

November 23, 2025January 1, 2026

It’s time to put some jingle🔔 in your strum and a little sparkle ✨ in your Saturday morning. Our December Jam is all about fun, community, and learning songs together — the kind of songs your friends and family will absolutely ask for over the holidays. You know the moment: someone hands you a ukulele and says, “Play us a Christmas song!”

This jam is your secret holiday superpower. We’ll laugh, learn, and strum our way through a set list that goes from snowy classics to a sunny Christmas Island getaway.

And hey — you don’t even need a ukulele! If you just want to come sing, clap, and enjoy the music with the Strummers, you are 100% welcome. You can even bring friends and family members with you! The more, the merrier!

🎶 Set List (with play-along videos! )

Here’s our holiday lineup. Big thanks to Stephanie for helping pick out the songs and to Marci who painstakingly poured a lot of love into polishing old charts and introducing new ones just for you.
Bonus: (almost) every song has a play-along video that you can use to nail the rhythm and feel.

You can see play-along videos for (almost) all the songs on this YouTube playlist with all the videos or access individual videos in the links below.

Marci’s tip: “Use the Strummers song sheet to play. Use the play-alongs to help you find rhythm, feel and familiarity — you’ll enjoy the jam much more.”

🎼The Charts

You may have noticed that every song is either new or updated. Where the chart says “”, please discard the older version and replace it with the new one from this list. It might be easier to delete the all the above songs from your tablet, then download all the songs in the list below.
After you download these charts, you should notice that they have a revision date in the lower-right corner. If they have a date in November 2025, then you know you have the latest version.

♫ Note: We have started a place that shows Music Library Changes (lists new and updated charts).
This page is available to Members only.

ℹ️Did you know? We now have over 370 songs in our Music Library. 🤯

🎤Open Mic

We have one open mic spot available! Want to show off a tune (holiday or whatever makes your hear sing)? Maybe it’s something you wrote in your kitchen at midnight with a candy cane in your mouth? We’re here for it. If you want that last spot, you need to act fast and let us via the Contact Us page.

🍪Refreshments

We’ll be serving refreshments at the end of the jam, so plan to stick around to hang out, chat, maybe sing a little more and enjoy a some post-strum social time.

Bring your ukulele, bring your voice, bring a friend, bring your holiday silliness — and let’s make this a Strum-Merry morning to remember. 🎶🎄

📍Map to the Jam

The makers of Kala Brand ukuleles have recently fallen victim to fraudulent websites impersonating Kala.

Here are some important tips they shared to help us identify and avoid fraudulent websites

Always check the website address: Before you click on any links or enter information, look closely at the web address. Scammers often use addresses that are slightly different (e.g., kalabrand-shop.com or kalabrandmusic.net). Kala’s official site is simply www.kalabrand.com.
Look for the padlock icon: A secure website will have a padlock icon in the browser’s address bar, indicating an HTTPS connection. While this doesn’t guarantee legitimacy, its absence is a red flag.
Check for suspicious discounts: We love offering special deals, but if a price seems too good to be true—like an extremely deep discount on a new, popular item—it could be a red flag. Always verify the site to be sure you’re on our official page.
Check for poor grammar or spelling: Scam sites often contain numerous typos or grammatical errors.
Verify contact information: Legitimate businesses will have clear contact information. If you can’t find a phone number, email, or physical address, be cautious.
