"Wonderful Christmastime" is a 1979 Christmas song by Paul McCartney. McCartney's song enjoys significant Christmastime popularity in the UK and the US. The notable synthesizer riff was played on a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5.
The song was later added as a bonus track on the CD reissue of Paul McCartney & Wings' Back to the Egg.
Fellow ex-Beatles John Lennon and George Harrison had already released such numbers, and Ringo Starr made a Christmas album decades later. Of all of the former Beatle seasonal offerings, Lennon's song and Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime have become two of a large number of popular Christmas songs played year after year.
