What to know about "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee
"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" was written by Johnny Marks (who also penned Christmas classics such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Holly Jolly Christmas") and the song was recorded by singer Brenda Lee when she was only 13 in 1958.
"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" reached the number-14 position on the Billboard charts in 1960 and regained popularity in 1990 when it was featured in the hit film Home Alone.

On December 7, Lee joined country legend Wynonna Judd during NBC's Christmas at the Opry special for an upbeat performance of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" that'll get you in the holiday spirit.

"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee lyrics
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
