Little Saint Nick is a Christmas song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, performed by The Beach Boys and first featured on their 1964 album The Beach Boys' Christmas Album. It is sometimes mistakenly called "Run Run Reindeer" because of the lyrics in the chorus [1]. In 2005, the song was re-recorded by Beach Boy Brian Wilson on his solo Christmas collection, What I Really Want for Christmas.
Several different versions of the song exist, including a single version that reached number 3 on the Christmas chart in 1964 and a version included on John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together. The song is also used in a Coca-Cola holiday commercial featuring a family of polar bears who stumble upon a festive penguin gathering.
