Minecraft Christmas is a song by Lewis and Simon, along with the band Area 11, released on the 15th December, 2012. The song was part of the 2012 Christmas Livestreams. The portions of the video that take place in 'reality' were animated by FredMalm and the portions that take place in Minecraft were animated by Ciaran Askew.
Plot and Summary[]
The song mainly features Steve, who, in the song, has lost his job and is all alone at home. He also has to pay bills, which he cannot afford to pay. He has electricity but no internet so he decides to play single-player Minecraft. He enters a seed and spawns in a snowy biome. Steve makes a snow golem, who he takes in as a friend.
They play many games in the snow and build many structures. After they are tired out and go home, the snow golem cooks some Christmas foods in a furnace while the exhausted Steve sleeps.
When he wakes up, he sadly finds that the snow golem has melted due to the heat. He switches off the computer and goes to sleep.
In the morning, he receives a text from his Dad saying that he has restored Steve's internet as an early Christmas gift. Steve then goes on the server and meets other members of the Yogscast. They had, in fact, been waiting for him the whole time. They exchange gifts and dance around the Christmas tree.
Steve suddenly sees many new snow golems around and makes a new friend with one. They happily celebrate Christmas and the song ends with everyone satisfied.

Lyrics[]
It's Christmas Eve and no snow is falling down
I'm all alone, no, there's no one around
Can't pay my bills 'cause I lost my job
I still got power but my internet's off
I hate this world, but I love this new seed
68954012663
Spawn in a forest, with snow on the floor
Could this be the Christmas I was searching for?
My mates went away and they didn't invite me
My parents aren't dead, no, they just don't like me
But two blocks of snow and a pumpkin together
I've made a friend who'll be with me forever
'Cause it's a Minecraft Christmas time
Chillin' with my buddy even though I'm offline
There's a whole world of joy and cheer
That's a very, very, very nice Christmas you're havin' this year
We built a house, well it's more of a shack
I've got the wood and he's got my back
He throws his balls at the mobs so unruly
I decked the halls with this lapis lazuli
We ventured out, just my snowman and me
We found a sapling for a Christmas tree (Christmas tree!)
We skipped back home so happy and gay
No, wait, I meant that in the old fashioned way
We had a roast chicken 'cause the game's not got turkey
We made mashed potatoes from the squids, they're so derpy
But the furnace was hot and when I awoke I found
Fifteen little snowballs lying there on the ground
'Cause it's a Minecraft Christmas time
Nothing seems cheery now my buddy has died
There's a whole world of pain and fear
It's a very, very, very bad Christmas I'm having this year
There goes my phone, it's a text from my dad (Merry Christmas, son!)
For an early gift, he got my internet back
Hop on the server, all my friends are online
Turns out they've been waiting for me all of this time
Spawn into the world, and what do I see?
A snowman party for my homies and me
Exchanging gifts and dancing without a care
Me and my snowman, we're walking in the air!
It's a Minecraft Christmas time
Chillin' with my buddies everyone is online
There's a whole world of joy and cheer
That's a very, very, very nice Christmas...
'Cause its a Minecraft Christmas time
Chillin' with my buddies, everyone is online
There's a whole world of joy and cheer
That's a very, very, very nice Christmas you're having,
A very, very, very nice Christmas
Oooh
A very, very, very nice Christmas we're having this year
(Be a shame if something were to happen to it)
Trivia[]
- Up until the last few days of production, the animators were under the impression that the main character was supposed to be Sparkles*. However, they were corrected by Sparkles* and told the character is supposed to be Steve. This resulted in Sparkles* having to be added into the group shot last second which is why he is last in the line.
- The paintings inside the house seen throughout the video were created by both FredMalm and Ciaran Askew and added in at the last minute.
- The painting of a pipe behind Steve and the snow golem during the dinner scene is based on "The Treachery of Imagery" which is one of FredMalm's favourite paintings.
- The painting above Steve's bed when he wakes up is supposed to be a "family of shoes" and was inspired from a suggestion on Ceeraanoo's twitter when he asked his followers "what paintings he should draw".
- The seed mentioned in the song, 68954012663, is an actual seed of a "snowy Taiga biome".
- The song peaked at 52nd place on the official chart.
- It was co-written by Turpster as revealed in the 2013 Dwarven Dairy Drive livestreams.
