That had to have been the funkiest Silent Night I'd ever heard, but I don't think they quite pulled it off. The gravitas of the original is kind of hard to turn funky. That looks like a local production up in Milwaukee or something (given the Wisconsin shirt a kid was wearing).
The Little Drummer Boy is more believable, since I've heard enough different versions of the song that it fits better.
The clip is from Chic-a-Go-Go which, as you might guess from the name, comes from Chicago. It is (Or was, I assume, although the Wikipedia article talks about it in the present tense.) a children's dance show that airs (Or aired...) on public access cable in Chicago in the nineties (And who knows, maybe does still, although I very much doubt it.)
Public access cable is a great source of weird music clips on YouTube.
