Marshmallow World
It’s a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow come to cover the ground
It’s time for play, it’s a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red, like a pumpkin head
It’s shining so your nose won’t freeze
Oh, the world is your snowball, see how it grows
That’s how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along
Oh, it’s a yum, yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It’s a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it’s a marshmallow world
It’s a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It’s time for play, it’s a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red, like a pumpkin head
It’s shining so your nose won’t freeze
Ah, the world is your snowball, see how it grows
That’s how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along
It’s a yum, yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It’s a sugar date, what if spring is late?
In winter it’s a marshmallow world
(Do, do do do, do do, do do)
(Do do do, do do do, do do do do)
(Do do do, do do do, do do do do)

About the carol Marshmallow World
“Marshmallow World” is a Christmas and winter song written by Carl Sigman and Peter DeRose. It was first recorded in 1949, and Dean Martin later recorded one of the most recognized versions for his Christmas music collection. Although the song does not directly mention Christmas, its snowy imagery, cozy atmosphere and seasonal mood have made it a popular part of holiday music. Martin’s smooth vocal style helped give the song its classic Christmas feel.
The song describes a world transformed by snow, comparing the winter landscape to a sweet and playful marshmallow-covered scene. Instead of focusing on Christmas traditions, it celebrates the beauty and romance of winter. The lyrics create images of snow-covered hills, outdoor adventures and warm moments shared with someone special. Its lighthearted approach makes winter feel magical and inviting.
Dean Martin’s recording became closely associated with Christmas playlists because of its relaxed, cheerful atmosphere. “Marshmallow World” represents the seasonal side of Christmas music that focuses on snow, warmth and togetherness rather than religious themes.
