The Bella All-Star Band can't do their usual live gigs this Christmas, for obvious reasons. But that doesn't mean the Yuletide can't be celebrated. Recorded in beautiful country Victoria, Australia, at the tail end of a legendary lockdown, live in front of dozens of people - oh, alright, a dozen - this is A Swingin' Bella Christmas, 2020. If you've never been to A Swingin' Bella Christmas, season's greetings! Lovely to make your acquaintance! You'll pick it up as you go: the first set is largely Christmas originals, the second set is largely carols. There's some very occasional coarse language, sorry about that.

On Christmas Eve, Kelly is reluctant to go to a Christmas Eve ball, so Barbie tells her the story of Eden Starling, a glamorous singing diva in the Victorian England and the owner of a theatre house. However, Eden is self-centered and loves only herself. She is frequently accompanied by her snooty cat, Chuzzlewit. She does not believe in Christmas and orders all her employees to work on Christmas.
