“Christmas Time Is Here” is a popular Christmas standard written by Lee Mendelson and Vince Guaraldi for the 1965 television special A Charlie Brown Christmas. Mariah covered the song on her Merry Christmas II You album, released in 2010. “[The Charlie Schulz estate] were like, ‘We love your version of ‘Christmastime Is Here’! That's our favorite version of that song,’ ” Mariah told Billboard. “For me, that was a huge compliment.”

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Written by Vince Guaraldi and Lee Mendelson.
Produced by Mariah Carey, James “Big Jim” Wright and Randy Jackson.
