Ava Della Pietra's Reindeer Rebellion: Santa's Playlist Gets a Gen Z Makeover

Ava Della Pietra‘s latest single Reindeer Rebellion arrives as a refreshing disruption to the traditional holiday music landscape.

It’s part festive anthem, part pop rebellion. Forget your typical jingle bell rock; this is Santa’s playlist getting a Gen Z makeover.

Known for her Broadway background and growing reputation in the pop music scene, Della Pietra crafts a vibrant and narrative-driven Christmas song that reimagines the holiday spirit through a sassy, youthful lens.

The song begins with a delicate, almost ethereal melody that quickly transforms into a driving, bass-heavy chorus.

Della Pietra’s vocals navigate this terrain with remarkable dexterity, oscillating between playful sass and genuine emotional depth.

Della Pietra captures the Christmas spirit while leading a full-on reindeer revolution.

Reindeer Rebellion tells the story of Rudolph and his fellow reindeer taking a stand against holiday malaise.

Lines like “Rudolph’s coming with a Reindeer Rebellion” and “where the good boys at, I’m sick of these hellions” inject a contemporary, rebellious spirit into the traditionally saccharine world of Christmas music.

The song becomes a symbolic cry against seasonal cynicism, positioning the reindeer as champions of joy and magic.

Della Pietra’s production choices are particularly noteworthy with the arrangement skilfully balancing contemporary pop production with just enough festive whimsy to keep the holiday spirit alive.

This isn’t just another seasonal release for Ava Della Pietra, who has been steadily building a reputation as a young artist to watch.

With over 16.9 million global streams and a growing social media following, she continues to demonstrate her ability to create music that is both relatable and innovative.

Reindeer Rebellion stands out in a crowded field of holiday music by refusing to conform to expected narratives.

It’s a track that celebrates the holiday season not through cloying sentimentality, but through a lens of joy, rebellion, and collective spirit.

For listeners tired of recycled Christmas classics and seeking something with genuine originality, Reindeer Rebellion offers an exciting alternative.

Ava Della Pietra – Reindeer Rebellion Lyrics

Scrooge is Scroogin’
He’s doin’ the most
And the Grinch is partyin’
There he goes again
Breaking hearts from Coast to Coast
And the snow’s not falling
Like it used to do
i can barely hear all the carolers
they’re getting quieter
guess it’s up to me and you

we gotta turn up the joy
turn up the love
it’s not enough

Keep all the elves employed
Let santa do what santa does
and let Santa do what he does
So

Rudolph comin’ with a Reindeer Rebellion
Naughty list got a little long this year
where the good boys at, i’m sick of these hellions
trying to take away my holiday cheer
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen
coming with that magic, they know how to fix it
if they’re getting coal in their stocking tell em
Rudolph’s coming with a Reindeer Rebellion

they’re determined to pout
but i’m not gonna cry
how could i be vibing low
when we got mistletoe
and a red nose slaying the sky

we gotta turn up the joy
Gotta turn up the love
Keep all the elves employed
And let Santa do what he does
So!!!

Rudolph’s coming with a Reindeer Rebellion
Naughty list got a little long this year
where the good boys at, i’m sick of these hellions

coming with that magic, they know how to fix it
if they getting coal in their stocking tell em
Rudolph’s coming with a Reindeer Rebellion

SANTA
got nine baddy reindeer on their way
with a bag filled to the brim
this year Mr. Rudolph’s him

SANTA
got nine baddy reindeer on their way
goingoin’ rat a tat tat on your ceilin’
this year Rudolph’s him
