Jingle Bell Rock was first released by Bobby Helms in 1957 and is often called the first mainstream rock 'n' roll Christmas song, with its rockabilly beat and jingling-bell cheer. Its catchy melody has been a festive favorite for decades.
This is the instrumental version — the same toe-tapping arrangement with the vocals removed — perfect as backing music for a Christmas concert, dance routine or classroom performance. It lets singers carry the tune themselves and makes an easy karaoke track for family fun at home.
