I mean Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas! 🎄

As festive momentum begins to swell, temperatures plummet, and the Christmas holiday season enters full-swing - I’ve chosen to shine a light on some of the best Robot x Christmas collaborations. From songs, to lego, cartoons to gift-sets. This is sure to get you in the Robo-Christmas spirit.

Is Christmas just for you guys? We would have to say NO BOT! Because deep down inside, we’re all just CHRISTMAS ROBOTS!

Have you ever seen anything so robo-funky and “festive”!? I’d love to know in the comments below. 😅😂

How about a more sinister robo-santa? Robot Santa Claus is one of the main antagonists in Futurama. He is a four-ton robot designed by The Friendly Robot Company, possibly a precursor to Mom’s Friendly Robot Company, in 2801 to judge whether people were naughty or nicе and sort out presents accordingly. Due to a programming error, he always judges everyone as naughty and every Christmas he’s out to commit severe punishments!

Merry Xmas indeed!

My favourite Robo-Christmas collaboration though has got to be Nathan Hale’s wonderful take on the classic Christmas song ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ — reworking the lyrics to be more bot-commodating. And if that wasn’t enough, he even made Lego creations of all of his festive bots! This is a real treat for Christmas and Robotics fans.

Carol Singing, Robo-Stylee

On the twelfth day of Christmas, Robo-Santa gave to me…

Twelve Beat Bots thumping,

Eleven Techno-Pipers,

Ten Clock-Lords sleeping,

Nine Droids a-dancing,

Eight Moto-Milkers,

Seven Sub-Trons swimming,

Six Geese-o-Matics,

FIVE BOT-TO-RIES!

Four Calling Bourgs,

Three Wrench Hens,

Two Turbo-Doves,

And a Cartridge in a Gear Tree. Lyrics by Nathan Hale

Finally, below, I’ve included Tech Advisors’ best robot toys and gifts for any future engineers!

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅🏽🤖🎄
