It’s that time of year I need some cheer
Bring me a sweater, this type of weather
Is making me wish you were here
We could pick out a tree, binge some TV
Have some hot chocolate, head down to Target
And get us some matching onesies
Nobody wants to be alone on the holidays, baby
I only miss you, miss you at Christmas
Who’s gonna hold me, baby, when I get cold?
I’m in my feelings just for the season
Who’s gonna kiss me underneath mistletoe?
So baby, come back to me while the lights are on the tree
Til’ the snow melts away in the spring
I only miss you at Christmas
(I only miss you)
(I only miss you)
(I only miss you at Christmas, baby)
Put angels in snow, slide down the road
Make some cookies, hang the stockings
Maybe go caroling (la-la-la-la)
Nobody wants to be alone on the holidays, oh baby
I only miss you, miss you at Christmas
Who’s gonna hold me, baby, when I get cold?
I’m in my feelings just for the season
Who’s gonna kiss me underneath mistletoe?
So baby, come back to me while the lights are on the tree
Til’ the snow melts away in the spring
I only miss you at Christmas
(I only miss you)
(I only miss you)
(I only miss you at Christmas, baby)
It’s that time of year, and I’m wishing that you were here
I only miss you, miss you at Christmas
Who’s gonna hold me, baby, when I get cold?
I’m in my feelings just for the season
Who’s gonna kiss me underneath mistletoe?
So baby, come back to me while the lights are on the tree
Til’ the snow melts away in the spring
I only miss you at Christmas
(I only miss you)
(I only miss you)
(I only miss you at Christmas, baby)

Anna’s heartfelt delivery makes the listener feel both the warmth of cherished memories and the chill of solitude, especially when she wonders who will hold her or kiss her beneath the mistletoe.
Relatable Holiday Emotions
The chorus resonates with anyone who’s experienced longing during the festive season. Rather than general heartache, the lyrics focus on a specific time—Christmas—making the sentiment even more relatable. Avery Anna’s storytelling ability shines as she intertwines the magic of the holidays with the pangs of missing someone special, reminding us that the season can be as much about nostalgia as it is about celebration.
