"Someday at Christmas" is a song by American singer Stevie Wonder, from his first Christmas album and same-titled eighth studio album (1967). Written by Ron Miller and Bryan Wells, it was produced by Henry R. Crosby. Initially released as a standalone single in 1966, it led to the recording of its parent album which was issued a year later. Described retrospectively as "a modern holiday classic",[1] "Someday at Christmas" gained greater popularity with the version released by the Jackson 5 in 1970 on the Jackson 5 Christmas Album, with younger brother Michael Jackson singing lead with "youthful exuberance", according to Ebony magazine.[2]
In 2015, Wonder recorded a duet version with Andra Day for an Apple TV commercial, which re-entered the charts.
