You can now use Uber to harass neighbors by sending carolers to their door

Imagine your home and enjoy the sounds of the crackling fire with your family in convivial silence, while the sudden sound of Christmas carols at the door wakes you from your reverie. Uber’s latest same-day delivery update allows you to order a group of Christmas carolers straight to your door, but I imagine savvy neighbors might be willing to pay money to put your family gatherings through a literal caroling ambush disturb.

Uber will begin delivering “a troupe of talented Christmas carolers” starting December 7th for a flat $60 with the purchase of a drink. It is an exclusive service for residents of NYC, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami and Washington. DC Uber said it is working with British alcoholic beverage maker Diageo. So the idea is that you would order a drink and a few Christmas songs at the same time. You can order the amateur singers together with a Bulleit design or upgrade to Don Julio at a higher price. Or perhaps you’ll opt for a non-alcoholic bottle of Ritual whiskey or tequila.

In the fine print, Uber says you have to buy the alcohol to get the Christmas songs. If you’re already too drunk, Uber can return the drinks and kidnap the singers, as they should.

Sure, you can send these carols to your office Christmas party to make things even more awkward for those involved, or Uber them to your house to annoy your neighbors. I can imagine the angry screams of my Brooklyn apartment neighbors if I try this myself.

There’s a new gingerbread icon in the Uber Eats app with a curated list of holiday items you can order from the company’s same-day delivery service. As with previous holidays, you can also get a Christmas tree through this delivery service. Starting Thursday, users can order trees alongside Hanukkah bushes and other decorations to their front door. This is part of the company’s efforts to rebrand its delivery service as “Uber Courier.”

Uber has hired professional Christmas carol groups for the job, so at least you know you can expect appropriate harmonies at your door. This may limit the number of people who can sing a caroler at the same time. However, it is unclear whether each group will receive similar rates to Uber drivers in the cities where this action is taking place.

While people who live outside of these cities may feel like they’re missing out, you can always perform your own drive-by Christmas song. Uber didn’t choose the city of Nashville, Tennessee, which makes sense given that Uber drivers are striking for higher wages and other benefits. This latest worker revolt follows nationwide rideshare strikes earlier this year over how much Lyft and Uber pay their drivers.
