"Christmas Time" is the first and only single from Christina Aguilera's Christmas album, My Kind of Christmas. Released in 2000, the single did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 as it was primarily a Christmas single, and they do not really chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Of much debate is whether the song is truly the first and only single of the album, as "The Christmas Song" which is found on the album had been released prior. Nevertheless, "The Christmas Song" was released before My Kind of Christmas had even been created. The single is most known for being Aguilera's first and only original (not a cover of a traditional holiday tune) Christmas single. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Song information

"Christmas Time" was written by Celebrity Status (Chaka Blackmon, Steven Brown, Ray Cham), Alex Alessandroni, and Ron Fair and produced by Ron Fair and Celebrity Status. As briefly mentioned above, the song is most known for being the holiday signature song of Christina Aguilera; caution should be taken though as the song is not considered one of her regular signature songs per se (like "Genie in a Bottle" or "Dirrty"), but rather the song has become famous as her personal holiday signature song (such as "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has become the personal holiday signature song for Mariah Carey). A signature song is the one song (or, in some cases, one of a few songs) that a popular and well-established singer, or band, is most closely identified with, even if they have had success with a variety of songs. ... Genie in a Bottle is the first single from Christina Aguileras debut album, Christina Aguilera. ... Dirrty is the first single from Christina Aguileras sophomore album, Stripped. ... All I Want for Christmas Is You is a song written and produced by American singer Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff, and recorded for Careys fifth album Merry Christmas (1994). ... Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, music video director and actress. ...

As Aguilera is known for daring to be different, she takes a gutsy move by making her signature holiday anthem not the usual traditional upbeat blend of festive holiday cheer, but rather a dark, urban, almost modern production with elements of dark Victorian music, and even a rap as rapped by Aguilera herself. Nevertheless, the song is not meant to be negative as Aguilera exclaims, but festively, "There'll be family and Christmas cheer, Peace and goodwill to all men, Everybody is home for Christmas...Everybody is home for Christmas Time."
