Introduction
“Christmas In Heaven” by Scotty McCreery is a heartfelt tribute that resonates deeply, especially during the holiday season. Co-written with Frank Rogers, the song was inspired by the passing of McCreery’s grandfather, Bill McCreery, in 2011.
The lyrics tenderly explore the poignant question many of us ponder when missing loved ones during Christmas: What is Christmas like in heaven? McCreery’s warm baritone voice guides listeners through vivid imagery, envisioning scenes where departed loved ones might be “singing with angels” and experiencing a celestial celebration.
Released in 2012 as part of the album “Christmas with Scotty McCreery,” this song has become a comforting anthem for those grieving during the holidays. Its gentle melody and sincere lyrics offer solace, suggesting that while our loved ones are absent from earthly festivities, they are partaking in a joyous celebration beyond our reach.
“Christmas In Heaven” serves as a reminder that the holiday season, though sometimes marked by loss, can also be a time of reflection and hope. It bridges the gap between sorrow and celebration, providing a comforting narrative that our loved ones continue to experience joy, even in their absence.

Lyrics
December hasn’t changed
This town looks the same
They still light that tree in the city square
There’s red, white, and green shining everywhere
And I wish you were here
And I wonder
Is the snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels silent night
I wonder, what Christmas in Heaven is like
There’s a little manger scene
Down on Third and Main
I must’ve walked right by it a thousand times
But I see it now in a different light
‘Cause I know you are there
And I wonder
Are you kneeling with shepherds before Him now
Can you reach out and touch his face
Are you part of that glorious holy night
I wonder
What Christmas in Heaven is like
Is the snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels silent night
Oh I wonder
What Christmas in Heaven is like
