Tooting Through the Snow: ‘Trombone Champ: Unflattened!’ Releases Holiday Update!

Sleigh bells. Jingle bells. The holidays are a real bell-centric time of year, to the detriment of other instruments. Luckily, I’m told that the flared end of the trombone is also called the bell, so nobody will object when you swap out the “Ho Ho Ho” for a brassy “Toot Toot Toot” this year.

That’s right, Trombone Champ: Unflattened! is here to get you into the spirit of the season with the Holiday Update!

Your first gift is a pair of new environments. Take the stage in the Holiday Theater to add a touch of December decor to your performances, or eschew indoors entirely and head to the Outdoor Winter Theater to enjoy trombone among the pine trees, the new-fallen snow, and the brisk air of a (formerly) quiet winter’s morn.

And what’s that? Another gift? Yes, you can also unwrap a new Christmas Cat Trombone named Snowball, the perfect cozy companion.

Sure, the trombone might not be the instrument you most associate with the season—but it’s a poor artist who blames their tools, right? Trombone Champ: Unflattened! has a roster of songs that are perfect for tooting along to during the holiday season, including Tchaikovsky’s “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,” takes on “Jingle Bells” and “Silent Night,” traditionals like “O Christmas Tree,” “Hanukkah Oh Hanukkah,” and “God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen,” and more.

So don’t let anyone stop you from busting out the ol’ brass bell this December. Trombone Champ: Unflattened! is available in the Meta Horizon Store, and the Holiday Update! is out now.
