the phrase ‘chimney Christmas’ I was watching a drama, and came across the scene, where a character goes ‘chimney Christmas’. (at least it sounded to me like that) He seemed to be in trouble. Will you give me some example sentences using the phrase ‘chimney Christmas’? I’d like to know if it has different connotation from similar expressions.

I would need to see the movie but. An older phrase used in this situation is"Jiminy cricket". It is expressing frustration or disappointment without using cuss words.

My guess is that the phrase was "criminy Christmas". "Criminy" is a word used to express surprise, or perhaps disbelief. Adding "Christmas" just makes it sound better.

"chimney Christmas" doesn't mean anything so either something different was actually said or as Devin said it is an exclamation with "criminy."
