About
Hood Christmas Carols, also known as Ghetto Christmas Carols, refers to a TikTok trend in which Black creators sing "hood" remixes of famous Christmas carols and songs, replacing words with AAVE and other slang terms. The trend was started by TikToker Lil Kari (@lilkari_36) in 2021. However, the trend became commonplace in December 2023 when Lil Kari posted a remix of "Let It Snow" called "Let Her Hoe," inspiring many to share their own hood "Let It Snow" remixes.
