Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee is featured in Previously Unaired Christmas, the eighth episode of Season Five. It is sung by Will and the New Directions.
In The Choir Room, the New Directions and Will prepare for the Christmas season as they decorate The Choir Room with Christmas decorations whilst singing Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. In the Boy's Locker Room, Coach Beiste and the Football Team also decorate a Christmas tree along with Stoner Brett and the 4/20 Club in a McKinley classroom, decorating their own. The New Directions sing and dance together, enjoying the Christmas festivity as they turn on the Christmas lights, lighting up the tree and The Choir Room. At the end of the performance, they applaud each other for their work.
Lyrics[]
Artie:
Rockin' around the Christmas Tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Will:
Rockin' around the Christmas Tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
Jake (with New Directions):
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing "Let's be jolly"
("Deck the halls with boughs of holly")
Will:
Rockin' around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone's dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way
Kitty:
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing "Let's be jolly"
"Deck the halls with boughs of holly"
Marley (New Directions):
Rockin' around the Christmas Tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new-old-fa-shioned (New-old-fa-shioned)
Way (Rockin', rockin', rockin', rockin' around the Christmas Tree)
