Alvin and the Chipmunks: Merry Christmas, Mr. Carroll
š Previously on the Advent Calendar House, our hearts and golden harmonicas went out to āA Chipmunk Christmas.ā
This time, itās Scrooge Sunday, and our Christmas in July reunion tour arrives in Hollywood ā or at least a nearby cartoon suburb where Alvin turns his greed up to 11 and blames it on his lonely old neighbor who doesnāt know how to plant a garden. So get set to have some fun in this Dickens of an episode of āAlvin and the Chipmunks.ā
