Reception

They Might Be Giants In... Holidayland received mixed reviews from critics. AllMusic gave it a 2 out of 5 stars stating that, "Unfortunately, the EP's newest track, a cover of the Sonics' 'Santa Claus,' is also the most unremarkable, but overall Holidayland will please the They Might Be Giants fans who don't already own these fun, festive songs."
