carol singer

Yuletide door performer

A carol singer is someone who sings carols, particularly Christmas carols, often going door to door in groups during the holiday season.

The practice is associated with community spirit and charitable fundraising: Carol singers collected donations for the food bank.

In Britain, the term is more common than the American "Christmas caroler."
