Winter Wonderland! is a Christmas album, the fifth studio album by American ska punk band MU330, released on Asian Man Records in 1999. According to Dan Potthast, the album came about when MU330 was asked to contribute a Christmas song to a Japanese ska compilation. Rather than just record one song, the band decided to write their own holiday-themed music, which explains why most of the album consists of original songs.
