The 'Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire' meme features Thai content creator Anuc Atittawan performing a cover of 'The Christmas Song' on the Smule karaoke app. Known for his unique pharyngeal vocal style, intense reverb, and earnest delivery, the video gained viral traction on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) in late 2022. While the original performance is sincere, internet users adopted it for its surreal and hypnotic quality, often using it as a bait-and-switch meme or to represent a state of pure, unbothered bliss. The template is widely used to depict someone feeling themselves a bit too much in private or to provide a humorous soundtrack to chaotic situations.
