"It's Christmas Time Again" is a song written by Sonny Burke, Jack Elliott, and James Harwood. It was first recorded by Peggy Lee.

Norma Deloris Egstrom (May 26, 1920 – January 21, 2002), known professionally as Peggy Lee, was an American jazz and popular music singer, songwriter, composer, and actress, over a career spanning six decades. From her beginning as a vocalist on local radio to singing with Benny Goodman's big band, Lee created a sophisticated persona, writing music for films, acting, and recording conceptual record albums combining poetry and music.

Snowflakes fallin', church bells callin'
It's Christmas time again
Fires lighted, kids excited
It's Christmas time again

Now Santa's sleigh is on its way, with candy canes and toys
And wonderful things that Santa Claus brings
To good little girls and boys

Candle glow and mistletoe
It's Christmas time again
Stockings hung and carols sung
It's Christmas time again
There's the tree to trim
Our glasses brim with love and joy and cheer
To all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year

There's the tree to trim
Our glasses brim with love and joy and cheer
To all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year
To all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year
