While it mostly features new studio musicians, it is the first album in 37 years credited to The Archies, since 1971's This Is Love.
It features vocals from Dante back as Archie, as well as two new teen singers: Danielle Van Zyl as Betty and Kelly-Lynn as Veronica.
[2] With the exception of the last two original songs which directly reference the Archie comic book, the rest are a compilationof covers of popular Christmas songs, performed in a more contemporary style by the band.
However, unlike that album, this one was not an attempt to re-create the old and classic bubblegum sound of the original Archies.
Instead, they use programming, synthesizers and distorted guitars, with a predominance of female lead vocals.
