A Charlie Brown Christmas premiered December 9, 1965, on CBS, complete with a now-classic soundtrack that includes “Christmastime Is Here” by Vince Guaraldi and Lee Mendelson.

Fast forward to 2005, and that song would play a major part in the Tulsa, Oklahoma, wedding of two country superstars: Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks.

“I actually walked down the aisle to that song at my wedding,” Trisha says. “Garth and I got married on December 10th, so we had a Christmas wedding.”

It’s only fitting the classic tune plays a central role in Trisha’s new yuletide collection, Christmastime.

“I just always wanted to sing it,” she explains. “So a lot of people are like, ‘I don’t even remember that it had words,’ but it has beautiful lyrics. And so I just, I knew it had to be on this record.”
