About the Song

Composed by Jule Styne with lyrics by Sammy Cahn in 1945, Let It Snow! debuted in a hit recording by bandleader Vaughn Monroe later that year and quickly became a seasonal standard. Its cosy images of fireside warmth and swirling snow captured listeners’ imaginations, and memorable covers by artists such as Dean Martin helped cement its place on festive playlists around the world.

Though not a carol, the song’s gentle swing and romantic good cheer make it ideal for Christmas gatherings, school concerts, and winter community events. Its easy refrain and timeless sentiment invite audiences to relax, sing along, and enjoy the sparkle of the season—whatever the weather outside.
