"Merry Christmas Darling" by The Carpenters was written by Richard Carpenter & Frank Pooler and originally recorded in 1970. At the time it was only available on a 45 rpm from A&M Records (1236) and later in 1974 reissued as A&M 1648 and in 1977 as A&M 1991. The single went to #1 on Billboard's Christmas singles chart in 1970, and did again in 1971 and 1973.

In 1978, The Carpenters issued their Christmas Portrait album, which contained a new recording of "Merry Christmas Darling". However, the two releases of the single were the original 1970 mix, and none of the singles had the newer 1978 mix. During Christmas, the latter mix is usually played.
