[Verse 1]
There's the snow, look out below
And bundle up cause here it comes
Run outside, so starry eyed
A snowball fight breaks out and winter has finally begun

[Pre-Chorus]
I twirl through the driveway with angelic grace
Till I slip on the sidewalk and fall on my face

[Chorus]
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don't need to taste to believe
What's December without Christmas Eve?

[Verse 2]
Hop in the sleigh, and we'll glide away
Into the night and we'll sip on moonlight
Runny nose, my frosty toes
Are getting cold but I feel alive so I smile wide

[Pre-Chorus]
The snowflakes start falling and I start to float
Till my mean older brother stuffs snow down my coat

[Chorus]
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don't need to taste to believe
What's December without Christmas Eve?

[Bridge]
All this holiday cheer, heaven knows where it goes
But it returns every year
And though this winter does nothing but storm
The joy in my heart is ablaze and it's keeping me warm
It's keeping me warm, it's keeping me warm

[Pre-Chorus]
I rip off the wrapping and tear through the box
Till I end up with 45 new pairs of socks

[Chorus]
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don't need to taste to believe
What's December without Christmas Eve?

Owl City

Originally making songs in his basement for his friends as Sky Sailing, Adam Young then discovered synth music and became Owl City, releasing two relatively unpopular albums Maybe I’m Dreaming and Of June before making his hit single “Fireflies” which made his third album as Owl City, Ocean Eyes a hit.

After this worldwide success he put on two more albums, All Things Bright and Beautiful in 2011, and The Midsummer Station in 2012. In 2014 he released an EP, Ultraviolet, composed of 4 songs whom one would appear on his following album, Mobile Orchestra. Retiring from Owl City in 2016 to focus on Adam Young Scores, a new project made of orchestral soundtracks about historic events, he reappeared in 2017 to tease his upcoming new album Cinematic, with the release of a series of three EPs, called Reel 1 , 2 and 3.
