"Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" is a Christmas song released as a single in 1971 by John & Yoko/The Plastic Ono Band along with the Harlem Community Choir. It marked John Lennon's seventh single outside of The Beatles. Initially reaching number four in the UK, its release there was delayed until November 1972. The song has periodically returned to the UK Singles Chart, notably following Lennon's tragic death in December 1980, when it climbed to number two. Besides being a holiday classic, it doubles as a protest against the Vietnam War. Over time, "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)" has been widely covered by other artists, included on Christmas music compilations, and consistently ranks as a favorite in holiday song polls. In a national UK poll in December 2012, it ranked tenth in ITV's television special, "The Nation's Favourite Christmas Song."
