It’s not Christmas without at least one round of the holidays classic “Silver Bells.” Fortunately for us, one country version of the tune is so unforgettable that we can’t stop listening to it!

Country music legend Merle Haggard recorded his version of the song back in 1973 and included it in his Merle Haggard’s Christmas Present, a Christmas album that featured a variety of the holiday classics and brought joy to country music fans.

Haggard’s performance, although simple and pure, humbly captures the feeling of the holidays in each and every note. The calming music perfectly showcased the singer’s impressive voice and instilled a warm sense of holiday spirit into listeners.

His voice smoothly transitions to the chorus as he sings, “Silver bells, silver bells/ It’s Christmas time in the city/ Ring-a-ling/ Hear them ring/ Soon it will be Christmas day.” 

Listen to Haggard’s performance in the video below and get yourself in the holiday spirit!
