It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year was written in 1963 by Edward Pola and George Wyle, and made famous by Andy Williams. Its bright, swinging melody has become one of the most instantly recognizable sounds of the holiday season.
This is the instrumental version — the same festive arrangement with no vocals — ready to use as backing music for a school Christmas concert, a show or a classroom performance. It lets singers carry the tune themselves, and it works nicely as a karaoke track for family sing-alongs at home.
