And the snow is glistening on the trees outside
And all the stockings
Are hung by the fireside
Waiting for Santa to arrive
And all the love will show
‘Cause everybody knows
It’s Christmas time and
All the kids will see
The gifts under the tree
It’s the best time of year for the family
It’s a wonderful feeling (Hey, yeah, yeah)
Feel the love in the room from the floor to the ceiling
It’s that time of year
Christmas time is here
And with the blessings from above
God sends you His love
And everything’s okay

About the carol Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
“Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” is a Christmas song recorded by the American boy band *NSYNC. It was released in 1998 as part of their holiday album Home for Christmas. The song was written by David Foster and Linda Thompson and features the group’s signature pop sound combined with festive production.
The song focuses on the joy of the holiday season and the importance of spending time with others. Rather than telling a specific Christmas story, it offers a general message of happiness, friendship and celebration. The lyrics highlight the warmth of gathering together and sharing positive feelings during the holidays.
*NSYNC’s youthful vocals and pop arrangement give the song a late-1990s holiday style. Its title reflects a broader holiday greeting that includes Christmas and other seasonal celebrations, emphasizing a message of goodwill. The song remains connected to Christmas through its festive sound, cheerful lyrics and focus on the happiness that comes from being together during the holiday season.
