"Christmas Time Is Here" is a popular Christmas standard written by Lee Mendelson and Vince Guaraldi for the 1965 television special A Charlie Brown Christmas,[1] one of the first animated Christmas specials produced for network television in the United States.

Two versions were included on the album A Charlie Brown Christmas: an instrumental version by the Vince Guaraldi Trio and a vocal version by choristers from St. Paul's Episcopal Church in San Rafael, California, who had previously performed with Guaraldi on At Grace Cathedral (1965).
