Introduction
Scotty McCreery’s “Christmas in Heaven” is more than just a holiday song—it’s a poignant reminder of the loved ones we miss during the most wonderful time of the year. From the first note, McCreery’s warm baritone pulls you into a reflective space, where the joy of Christmas mingles with the bittersweet ache of absence. This song captures the essence of longing and hope, making it a staple for those who feel the presence of someone special even when they’re no longer here.
The lyrics are both tender and evocative, painting a vivid picture of what Christmas might look like in heaven. Lines like “Are you singing with angels? Are you laughing with God?” stir the imagination and provide comfort, as if bridging the gap between earth and the heavens. It’s a song that gently reassures listeners that our loved ones are celebrating Christmas in a place filled with light and love, even if we can’t be with them.

Lyrics
December hasn’t changed
This town looks the same
They still light that tree in the city square
There’s red, white, and green shining everywhere
And I wish you were here
And I wonder
Is the snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels silent night
I wonder, what Christmas in Heaven is like
There’s a little manger scene
Down on Third and Main
I must’ve walked right by it a thousand times
But I see it now in a different light
‘Cause I know you are there
And I wonder
Are you kneeling with shepherds before Him now
Can you reach out and touch his face
Are you part of that glorious holy night
I wonder
What Christmas in Heaven is like
Is the snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels silent night
Oh I wonder
What Christmas in Heaven is like
