"Another Rock N' Roll Christmas" is a popular 1984 Christmas song by Gary Glitter.

The song is about the fun of Christmas and refers to Rock and Roll music throughout, examples being the lyrics "You'll be rocking in your stocking" and "Come on, Rock and Roll for old St. Nick". The song sold very well, hitting the Top 10 in the UK Singles Chart, becoming Glitter's most successful song since 1975. Though he was still touring regularly when the song came out, Glitter has often credited "Another Rock N' Roll Christmas" as a song that gave him a huge resurgence in popularity.

The song was included on the album Boys Will Be Boys, issued in 1985 and was reissued many times, both as a single (including a collectors picture disc) and on other albums.

The track was one of the most played Christmas songs in the UK for many years and is still played today, though not as heavily, following Glitter's conviction for possessing child pornography.
