Lyrics of
Holly Jolly Christmas

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas was written by Johnny Marks in 1962. It was originally recorded by The Quinto Sisters and gained popularity when Burl Ives re-recorded it for the 1964 television special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The song has become one of the most popular Christmas songs in the United States.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas, it's the best time of the year,
I don't know if there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer.
Have a holly, jolly Christmas, and when you walk down the street,
Say hello to friends you know and everyone you meet.
Hey, ho, the mistletoe, hung where you can see,
Somebody's waiting there, kiss her once for me.
Have a holly, jolly Christmas and in case you didn't hear,
Oh, by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year.
