Little Saint Nick – The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys celebrate Christmas in true Californian style with Little Saint Nick. Whilst managing to keep their trademark sunny harmonies, the jingling of bells and melodic chorus of “Run Run Reindeer” will have your toes tapping and heads bobbing awkwardly at this year’s Christmas party. Written and released by the group in 1963, Little Saint Nick gives off the warm vibe of retro Christmases past; a true classic in the hall of Christmas record fame.
