Yes, “it’s the most wonderful time of the year”. Johnny sings it with such enthusiasm and joy and projects it on to his audience! I also like to hear Andy Williams sing it.
Another great version is Idina Menzel
Johnny Mathis is Christmas in our home. I have been listening to his Christmas songs since the 1950's and have his original album.
This is my favorite version of this song. No one sings it better than Johnny Mathis.
Merry Christmas 2023 🎅🎄
Only 6 months until Christmas 2024 comes to town! This is my first time seeing this performance!
This is the most wonderful version of all.
This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. And of course, John Mathis gives it his great voice and enthusiasm! His voice is just charismatic! I listen to him almost every day.
Im watching this in the summer
1st day of Fall, the leaves are falling here in the South and the mornings are cooler, makes me think of the Holidays right around the corner,so here I am loving this Classic and will be listening until Christmas Day. A little early but I hope everyone has a Blessed Holiday season😊
He can sing most anything - and make it sound special!
I love his Christmas CD.. : ) Tis most wonderful time of the year!
I DON'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS ANYMORE BUT I STILL LOVE JOHNNY MATHIS.
Beautiful song!I am a sucker for Johnny Mathis music,This always give me that festive Christmas feeling,I want to shop and do all the crazy Christmas stuff that comes with the season!Lol!
It's not Christmas without Johnny!
We all need more Johnny!
He's the BEST Christmas singer!
It is the most wonderful time of the year, ,🎄🎍🎄🎈🎇🎄🎄Johnny sings so great , Happy holidays ,
Johnny Mathis songs put me in Xmas spirit!!!
Ty B Apparently not too much if you can’t include Christ in Christmas.
Same! He's always been my favorite!! 😊🎄⛄🎅🦌
I LOVED this special when it was originaly shown on CBS back then in December 1993!!!!
It gets everyone in the mood for Christmas if you are not already-it adds to the love and joy of Christmas time.
And the best part of this special- Michael C!! His hypnotic and alluring voice made me cry!
I wish this special was on DVD!!!
He just so much energy into his singing. I have seen him at the Resorts Casino and Resort in Atlantic City. What a show he put on.
To me, Johnny IS xmas.
I could care less about the religous stuff- it's the fun, friends and family that make it so awesome.
Gotta go wrap gifts and enjoy life. See ya...
Two singers sing this beautiful song. Johnny Mathis and Andy Williams.
this song is so awesome!
Cant wait for christmas

OMG its so beautiful
the most time of the year
Johnny Mathis. the best song ever.....
I know it is Christmas when I hear this and nobody does this song like Johnny! 😃
Johnny is a truly nice guy. I gave him my toy Jaguar, with no tires, when I was about 6 or 7 instead of asking for an autograph. He switched on his microphone to tell the audience and said that I couldn't afford the tires. Made my day!
That was awesome!
wonderful song!!!!

Thank you for posting a better, clearer video. This looks and sound so great I downloaded it to my realplayer. Johnny Mathis is the king of Christmas songs.
Merry Christmas everyone from Philippines !
I miss you Mom! The most wonderful time of the year!
I shall not fear watching is in the summer!
I love Johnny Mathis. Such a wonderful voice. And he's not too bad looking either. (For an older man)
Johnny Mathis was what my mom played too. And yes it was also on LP/ vinyl ;-)
love the high quality mullet at 0:44. Awesome
Thanks posting this wonderful and immortal song. I often listen to this song when Christmas is near - the song kinda warms the heart and gives hope that next year will be better and better. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all : )!
Brings me right back to my childhood and my Mother playing his record during Christmas!!! By record I mean Vinyl LOL
A most wonderful Johnny...
The Love if my life.
Johnny Mathis and that once in a lifetime voice did great with this rendition of the song!! I'd still rate it a very close second to Andy Williams'. I'm sort of traditional. The song reminds me of my Grandmothers. They both passed in '72. They both had his X-mas albums.
I'm frm korean. you chrismas song
wonderful
I just love the song! This is thatkind of songs I want to hear on a christmas market! :-))
I'm always so happy when listening to this song! :)
Oh, and Merry Christmas from Germany! :-)
great!
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!! MUCH LOVE ANN
The two definitive versions are by JM and AW (Johnny Mathis and Andy Williams). And of course, the song structure was beautifully composed and arranged. This song NEVER gets old!!!
my favorite
Um,,,best christmas song everrrrrrrrrrr
Merry Christmas from Canada! :D

@USAirwaysPilotA330
Yes, Johnny is alive and 75 years old. He looks great!!! I just saw him in concert on his birthday, Sept. 30th.
Merry Christmas to All
Yep. What's not to love?
Oh no, Johnny is alive and well, and he recorded this in 1993. He recorded his first Christmas album in 1958, but this wasn't on it. Since then, he's done another 7 or 8 Christmas albums. This song was from the David Foster Christmas Album.
Happy New Year to you too!
OH YES IT IS THE MOST WOUNDER-FULL TIME OF THE YEAR OH YEA
Jolene Goodwin its the most wonderful time of year merry Christmas

Thanks to everyone for supporting this song & video.
And a blessed Christmas Season to all!
I still have a stack of vinyl records, including a couple of Johnny Mathis albums (just not the Christmas one), and I even have a record player I can play them on.
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. :)
oh wow! that looks just like him lol!
@OceanKingNY Yes! I like his version best when it comes to christmas carols. Very nice.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
I have a regular internet program where I play just Johnny's music. It's once a month-the first Sunday of each new month. It starts at 2PM eastern time on www.oshawarocks.cim. Johnny even phoned in about 3 months ago. What a treat!!!
Jingle all the Way bought me here
FOOOOOOOTBALLLLLL SEASON!!!!!!!! 🏈🐘 #rolltide
Right!
Stephanie Hughes, this one is for you, babe. ;-) Love you, and Merry Christmas!
I'm looking for the Gap or Old Navy commercial where Johnny sings this. With Mathis's resemblance to Bill Bixby plus his messy hair, it looks like he's turning into the Incredible Hulk!
Hah! It seems Johnny tries to turn into the Hulk at 2:04 !!

Thanks to all of you for watching, and Merry Christmas!
Goodlooking guy
@OceanKingNY sorry i meant to thumbs up Merry Christmas
My favorite version has to be the Andy Williams original, but Johnny's is a pretty close second.
Oldfashion!
But I like it!
Nobody is saying that Johnny Mathis and Obama look alike. Check out the extra who passes Johnny at the :55 mark. He's the one with the resemblance to Obama that has everyone amused.
Got to keep in that spirit, right OceanKing NY?
LOL, I thought the same thing when I was editing this! Johnny Mathis gave Barack Obama his start. Who knew?
@lgeklsflz The key thing is that Johnny could do this live, just as well. A legend.
@dante8781 It was probably part of the show. The director must have had Johnny and all of the extras rehearse their movements and facial expressions many times before shooting started.
It IS Obama! He loves Christmas just like the rest of us!!
:-)
Ha! I thought That dancer with the green sweater was Dallas cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson.
Fun to see my son Adam the juggler at 0:34 & 1:07.
+Jimmy Wood That's your son juggling? How cool. How did he get this gig?
LOL!
I remember vinyl, too! Yikes. :)
Who let the oompa loompa escape
@creolelady182 That's my bad. I replaced the TV audio with the CD audio, and I had trouble keeping it all in sync.
