What’s Hoffman doing in this sentimental farce—that strips 60s music of its context and significance?

Thanks to the miracle of Youtube, it’s my very favourite Christmas movie ever, which inexplicably almost never turns up on the holiday broadcast schedule any more. Sure, some of the references may be a teeny bit dated, but somehow, it is unfailingly encheerifying just the same.  (Note: link goes to the first of seven deliciously unmissable parts.)
