[Verse 1]
We were warm and wonderful once upon a time
But now we're frozen, hanging by a thread
Can we wait a minute or can we just try to try?
'Cause my favourite day is coming up ahead

[Pre-Chorus]
Darling, I know that our love is going cold
It's just something 'bout the snow
This time of year that makes us
Lose our way, just say we'll make up and
Hold on a little longer
Don't have me spending it alone
This time of year is precious
Please, can we make it to Christmas?
Can we make it to Christmas?

[Chorus]
(Christmas time) Can we just make it to Christmas?
(Everything will be alright) Can we just make it to Christmas?
(If we just hold on) Can we just make it to Christmas?
(Hold on, ho-o-old on) Make it to Christmas

[Verse 2]
Don't know what I'll say to Dad when he sees the empty chair
Don't want to hear my mom say, "Told you so"
Waiting for Santa in my bed's no fun if you're not there
And I don't want to be angry at mistletoes

[Pre-Chorus]
Darling, I know that our love is going cold
It's just something 'bout the snow
This time of year that makes us
Lose our way, just say we'll make up and
Hold on a little longer
Don't have me spending it alone
This time of year is precious
Please, can we make it to Christmas?
Can we make it to Christmas?

[Chorus]
(Christmas time) Can we just make it to Christmas?
(Everything will be alright) Can we just make it to Christmas?
(If we just hold on) Can we just make it to Christmas?
(Hold on, ho-o-old on) Make it to Christmas
(Christmas time) Can we just make it to Christmas?
(Everything will be alright) Can we just make it to Christmas?
(If we just hold on) Can we just make it to Christmas?
(Hold on, ho-o-old on)

[Bridge]
Darling, I know that our love is going cold
It's just something 'bout the snow
This time of year that makes us
Lose our way, just say we'll make up and
Hold on a little longer
Don't have me spending it alone
This time of year is precious
Break my heart on Boxing Day
Just, please, can we make it to Christmas?

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
(Christmas time)
(Everything will be alright)
(If we just) Hold on, hold on, ho-o-old on
Yeah, yeah
(Christmas time)
(Everything will be alright) Everything will be alright
(If we just hold on) Hold on
(Hold on, ho-o-old on) Hold on

Alessia Caracciolo is a singer-songwriter from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Upon the release of her first single, “Here”, she shortened her last name because it was “so long and spelled crazy.”

Cara started posting covers on her YouTube channel at the age of 13. She first started to gain popularity when she posted a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors.” Soon after, her cover of The Neighbourhood’s “Sweater Weather” took off. These covers got her signed to EP Entertainment and later, Def Jam.

Her first single, “Here” premiered on The FADER on April 27th, 2015, and blew up soon after. Just four months later, the song racked up 18 million Spotify streams in addition to 4.5 million views on its official video.
