But now, it seems that a group of them are in the holiday spirit and decided to go caroling about their lives, as parodied in a faux musical on the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“Karen mania has been sweeping this country for like the last two years and here in Hollywood, there’s a new musical right across the street from us, it’s called ‘The Christmas Karen.’ They’re doing like 18 shows a week. They’re right next door to the Marshalls,” Kimmel said before introducing the “cast” of the carol.
One of the first songs on their lineup was a rendition of “Jingle Bells” with these lyrics: “Who’s jingling bells today? I swear to God I’m gonna call the God*** HOA.”
The HOA is an acronym for the Home Owner’s Association.

The second song they sang was an altered version of “O Christmas Tree” that poked fun at “Karens,” who don’t want their actions to be filmed.
”Stop filming me, stop filming me. I don’t want to go viral,” they sang.
The women also sang another edited version of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” that said, “I swear that I’m not a racist,” amongst other obnoxious twists to popular Christmas songs.
Elsewhere, Kimmel addressed a recent incident of a woman at a San Diego board of supervisors meeting getting “Mariah carried away” while singing an anti-vax version of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” and showing a clip of the moment.
“We’ve seen a lot of videos of people saying ridiculous things at county board meetings lately, but this one is special because this one has a holiday twist,” he said.
