Aussie Christmas with Bucko & Champs is a Christmas album by Australian comedy duo Colin Buchanan and Greg Champion as Bucko and Champs. Released in 1995, it peaked at number 39 in December 1997 and was certified gold.
The album is widely recognised as one of Australia’s greatest cultural outputs. The lyrics are often self-depreciating, a hallmark of Australian culture, and emphasises fun, family, and togetherness. The album is a remedy to northern hemisphere carols that whilst much loved, do not reflect the unique Australian celebration of Christmas in backyards across the country, often in extreme heat.
At the ARIA Music Awards of 1996, the album was nominated for ARIA Award for Best Comedy Release.[1]
