Greatest Time of Year is the first single from Aly & AJ's Christmas album Acoustic Hearts of Winter. The single was used for The Santa Clause 3, similar to the way Hilary Duff's song "Santa Clause Lane" was used for The Santa Clause 2, and the music video also had scenes from the film. The video first aired on October 16, 2006 on the Disney Channel. The single debuted at number ninety-six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
It was released to iTunes as a single version with the beginning chorus cut off like in the video as well as an 8 second snippet just before the bridge. The cover of the single is on there too, despite that it wasn't a mainstream single release.

[edit] Music video
- The music video was directed by Declan Whitebloom.
- The video does not include the intro but instead skips to the first verse of the song, and it also leaves out a small 8 second snippet just before the bridge. There are no other differences.
- The music video first aired on Disney Channel after Twitches in October 2006. Disney has began airing it more frequently once The Santa Clause 3 came out in theaters and its Billboard debut.
- On MTV.com they added the real video for this song meaning it doesn't include any Santa Clause 3 scenes.
