"Little Saint Nick" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys first released as a single on December 9, 1963.

Written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, the Christmas song applies hot-rod themes to Santa Claus and his sleigh.

[3] In November 1964, an alternate mix of "Little Saint Nick" appeared as the opening track on The Beach Boys' Christmas Album.

Wilson recalled: "I wrote the lyrics to it while I was out on a date and then I rushed home to finish the music.

"[1] Some of its rhythm and structure derives from the group's "Little Deuce Coupe", also co-written by Wilson and released as a single six months earlier.
