"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" is a Christmas song by John Lennon, Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Band. It was recorded in New York City in October 1971. The children singing in the background were from the Harlem Community Choir. The lyrics were written by Lennon and Ono, while the melody and chord structure were taken from the folk standard known as "Stewball".
Although the song is a protest song about the Vietnam War, it has become a Christmas standard and has appeared on several Christmas albums.
