“Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” has been a holiday favorite for nearly 70 years. Now, Brenda Lee’s classic song is the inspiration for a new festive guide from Harper Celebrate, a HarperCollins Focus imprint. The coffee table book, also titled *Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree*, will be released on September 23. It promises a retro and nostalgic look at holiday celebrations. Brenda Lee describes it on the cover as “full of joy, spirit, and laughter—just what I hope for your Christmas.”
This book is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their holiday gatherings or as a fun stocking stuffer for friends planning next year’s festivities. It features delicious recipes like Christmas Tiramisu and Brioche Bread Pudding with Warm Vanilla Sauce, along with festive drinks like the Cranberry Sleigh Ride Cocktail and Festive Fancy Mimosas. There are also creative ideas for crafts, including a DIY Advent Calendar and a Gingerbread Competition. Plus, it offers tips on choosing the perfect Christmas tree and the history of mistletoe.
Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” is available on special limited edition powder pink vinyl through MCA/UMe, complete with new cover art and a digitally signed Christmas card from Lee. The album also includes her versions of holiday classics like “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Winter Wonderland.” In 2023, the song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time, setting a record for the longest gap between a song’s debut and its rise to the top—65 years!
