“Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” is a popular Christmas song. It was written by Johnny Marks and first recorded in 1958 by the American singer Brenda Lee. When the 50th anniversary of this song rolled around in 2008, Lee’s original version had sold more than 15 million copies around the world, with the 4th most digital downloads sold of any Christmas single.
In 2023 Lee released a music video for the song, and in December the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making Lee, at age 78, the oldest artist ever to top the chart.
Isn’t it wonderful when you can rock around the Christmas tree at the age of 78?

When it comes to Rockin' Christmas songs this one is tops! Fun fact: Brenda Lee was just 13 years old when she recorded this song. Known as "Little Miss Dynamite," she stood 4'9".
Such a happy party song. Always enjoy listening to that one.
