"Santa Claus Is Back in Town" is a Christmas song written in 1957 by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, and first recorded that year by Elvis Presley[1] as the opening track on Elvis' Christmas Album, the best-selling Christmas/holiday album of all time in the United States.

[3] The "Blue Christmas"/"Santa Claus is Back in Town" single was certified Platinum by the RIAA in 1999.

[4] The song consists of an elaborate double entendre in which the singer, identifying himself as Santa Claus but having no sleigh, reindeer or sack of toys, promises to arrive in "a big black Cadillac" with the intent of "coming down (a young woman's) chimney" Christmas Eve.

Another notable version was by Robert Plant and the Honeydrippers, as performed on Saturday Night Live on December 15, 1984.

[8][9] Lainey Wilson performed the song live on the NBC holiday TV special Christmas at Graceland, which aired on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.
