Classic Christmas Cheer-Brenda Lee’s Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

The amazing Brenda Lee recorded one of her biggest songs ever in 1958 at the age of 13! Yes, her voice sounded like that at 13 years old! The track would go on to be a massive hit in the 1960s and has continued to gain popularity over the years—a big reason being its feature in the Home Alone movie from 1990.

Brenda’s song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart 65 years after it was released, in 2023!

It was written by Johnny Marks, who also wrote Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and A Holly Jolly Christmas.

Brenda recorded a music video for the song in 2023 when it hit number one! The audio is her 13-year-old self—a true Christmas classic!
