"Crazy Christmas" by Santa Clones was featured on Just Dance 2 and Just Dance 3 as a downloadable track, but became unavailable following the shutdown of the Wii Shop Channel on January 30, 2019 and the removal of the routine from the Xbox 360 Marketplace on August 20, 2023. It was also featured on 舞力全开：活力派, but was made unavailable following the shutdown of the game on February 17, 2020. The song remains playable on Just Dance Now, Just Dance Unlimited, and 舞力无限. It was also planned to be on Just Dance: Summer Party[4] and Just Dance: Greatest Hits/Best Of, but was scrapped for unknown reasons. The song can be also found in the Just Dance+ files.
The song is a mix of three classic Christmas songs - Jingle Bells, O Christmas Tree, and We Wish You A Merry Christmas.

Background[]
Original/Just Dance 3 (Wii)[]
The routine takes place in a snowy 2D landscape with a red sky, teal ground, and a white path going along it. The landscape slowly moves forward throughout the routine. The background has an icy border around it. Snowflakes fall from the sky during the routine. The landscape changes each time Santa changes his attire. Every time Santa changes attire, he disappears and reappears quickly with a bubble effect.
During Santa's C1 form, there are several green and white trees, cyan mountains with snowy tops, and two sleighs with presents on them. One sleigh is crashed into the ground, with some presents lying on the floor.
During Santa's C2 form, there are several palm trees with surfboards sticking out from the ground, Christmas trees with ornaments on them, Christmas lights hanging above, and black and red coolers with a word reading "Frizz" on them.
During Santa's C3 form, there are several pine trees with large black and red electric guitars sticking out from the ground, black speakers laying about, some buildings, large red horns sticking out, a cyan mountain with a snowy top that has a guitar laying on top of it, and sound systems with a word in front of it reading "Machi". One horn has snow piling up on it while another has Christmas lights wrapped around it.
During Santa's C4 form, there are several teal electric poles, black signs with racing banners and a reindeer wearing sunglasses on it, and skyscrapers. Santa also pulls out presents with neon red outlines during this part, which disappear with the same bubble effect when he swings out his hands.
During Santa's C5 form, there are red cacti, red grass, and large black signs with white lights and a deer skull with red horns.
At the end of the routine, the landscape returns back to as it was at the beginning of the routine.
Just Dance 3 (Xbox 360)[]
In the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 3, the frost effect on the screen is slightly bluer, there is now blue fog around the landscape, and the landscape is more spaced out and three-dimensional.
Remake[]
In the remake, the ground is now green and the sky is now changed to a more orange-red tone, resembling sunset.
Gold Moves[]
There are 3 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Moves 1 and 3: Raise your arms swiftly above your head to form a "V" and cross your legs.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Crazy Christmas is the first song by Santa Clones in the Just Dance series.
- It is also their only original song, as the other two songs they are credited for (Last Christmas and Jingle Bells) are covers.
- Crazy Christmas is the first Christmas-themed song in the entire Just Dance franchise.
- In the game credits, the sampled songs are displayed with altered titles, most of which are wordplays based on the musical genre they are inspired by. The titles are, in order of appearance, “Jingle Bells 2", “O Christmas Surf”, “We Wish You An Indie Christmas”, “We Wish U A Merry Skaristmas”, and “Country Bells”.[5]
- Jingle Bells would later be sampled in XMas Tree.
- Crazy Christmas is one of the five Just Dance 2 songs that did not appear on Just Dance: Summer Party, along with Come On Eileen, It's Not Unusual, Should I Stay Or Should I Go, and Spice Up Your Life.
- Among them, Crazy Christmas, It’s Not Unusual and Come On Eileen are the only three songs to return in later games.
- A Community Remix for Crazy Christmas was planned to be released in Just Dance Now, but it was ultimately canceled for unknown reasons.
- If the Community Remix had not been canceled, Crazy Christmas would have become the second song with an exclusive Community Remix on Just Dance Now (after Sexy And I Know It), and also the first song from Just Dance 2 with a Community Remix.
Routine[]
- Santa Claus is the second coach to have a yellowish skin tone, after The Bride from Just Dance to Just Dance: Greatest Hits.
- However, in the remake, his skin is pointed to a more realistic tone.
- Crazy Christmas is the only Just Dance 2 DLC from the 2010s that is not on Just Dance: Summer Party.
- Crazy Christmas was a free DLC for Just Dance 2 from December 17 to December 27.[6] It was the first temporarily free DLC in the series.
- Crazy Christmas currently holds the record for appearing in at least one Mashup in every Just Dance entry, consecutively, since Just Dance 3. All of the costumes have appeared in at least one Mashup.
- During production, the background had more details and was pointed to a blue palette.
- On Just Dance 2, if Crazy Christmas is purchased and downloaded for the first time on an SD card instead of the Wii System Memory, the map will become permanently unplayable, as the game will freeze when trying to play it.
- In Just Dance 2, the frost effect and snowflakes from the background are layered on the "Follow your dancer on the screen" section before the ready screen.
- Despite Santa in his C2 form having a red glove, the arrows on the pictograms remain dark green.
- In Just Dance 2, some elements of the background (such as the palm trees in the second section) are layered between the score ball and the feedback icons, resulting in the latter passing through them when they appear.
- This is not the case in the Wii version of Just Dance 3, where both the score ball and the feedback icons are layered behind the affected background elements.
- In the menu icon Take On Me’s Mashup, a new artwork for C2 is displayed instead of C3 from the original square, since only C2 appears in the Mashup.
- In the Just Dance 3 menu square, the coach’s right foot is cut off.
- The menu square on Just Dance 2 is mirrored, resulting in Santa's glove being on his left hand. This was fixed starting in Just Dance 3.
- In Just Dance 3, Gold Move 3 has a glitch, where the "YEAH!" feedback icon is not displayed even if the move is performed correctly, and only the sound effect can be heard.[citation needed]
- The remake uses a different take of the choreography during the coach’s C5 form, where he forgets to do the last clap.
- A video preview that contains the original version of the routine instead of the remake can be found in the servers of Just Dance Unlimited.[7]
- Crazy Christmas, along with Hungarian Dance No. 5, Irish Meadow Dance, and William Tell Overture were made free from December 23 to December 31, 2016 on 舞力全开：活力派 to celebrate Christmas.[8]
