LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Kristen Bell is stretching out those vocal cords again this holiday season, this time with a goofy Christmas song alongside a cappella group Straight No Chaser.

Parents are just now starting to get Frozen ear worm "Do You Want to Build A Snowman" out of their heads, but Bell is back at it again, looking to cash in on the winter season with a new music hit.

The Veronica Mars actress lent her vocals to the tongue-in-cheek — and yet surprisingly good — "Text Me Merry Christmas."

The video for the holiday song is pretty simple: It features the tune's lyrics scrolling along what appears to be a cell phone screen.

At times the song is sweet:

"This holiday you'll be far away / And I'll be all alone / So please remember this December / To fully charge your phone," Bell sings. "And... Text me Merry Christmas / Let me know you care / Just a word or two of text from you / Will remind me you're still there." 

At other times it's silly:

"Text me Merry Christmas / Make my holiday complete / Though you're far from me, say you'll BRB / That's a text I'll never delete / Choose just the right emoji / One that makes me LOL / And if you text me something naughty / I promise I won't tell," Straight No Chaser sings.
