Jon Cozart, better known as Paint on YouTube, usually tackles Disney tales with his parody songs, but this year he’s turned his attention to the holiday season with a slew of updated festive jingles.

Decked out in adorable holiday sweaters, Cozart sings all four parts of these updated carols, which he calls “Progressive Christmas Carols.” The lyrics include a Progressive Santa who’s making a list of gluten free foods, Rudolf as an example of evolution, and a Grinch dealing with racism.

Not only are these tunes progressive, they’re incredibly catchy. Here’s to you, Cozart, for adding some truth to mirth.
