If you’ve ever faced winter’s biting cold and thought, “Enough of this already,” Let It Snow (Somewhere Else) is your anthem. This clever, cheeky tune flips the classic holiday sentiment on its head, delivering a lighthearted escape from the usual snow-glorifying standards. It’s the song for those who love the cozy charm of the season but could do without shoveling driveways or slipping on icy sidewalks.
The melody dances with a playful energy, blending a hint of jazz with a touch of humor that feels like a warm hug for your ears. The lyrics are a witty lament about winter woes, from frozen fingers to endless snowfall, yet they carry a twinkle of humor that keeps the song from being too cynical. Instead, it’s a relatable nod to anyone dreaming of tropical breezes while stuck in a snowstorm.
What makes this song so special is its balance. While it pokes fun at winter’s challenges, it still celebrates the season in its own way—reminding us that not everyone is thrilled about “snowy wonderlands,” and that’s perfectly okay. It’s the perfect tune to enjoy while you sip hot cocoa, wrapped in a blanket, planning your escape to somewhere sunny

Lyrics
We took a trip down to the islands
And we got a little carried away
We thought we’d unwind, and lost track of time
And we woke up on Christmas Day
Now back home there gathered ’round the tree
Stayin’ warm by fire light
But as I look around, the sun’s beatin’ down
And there ain’t a cloud in sight
And I thought Lord
Let it snow somewhere else
We can still sing Jingle Bells
With our toes stuck in the sand
And a pair of mojitos in our hand
It’s a wonderful time of year
When it’s 85 and the sky is clear
So let it snow (somewhere else)
Let it snow (somewhere else)
Let it snow, just not here
We’ll string lights on a palm tree
Pretend this beach chair is a sleigh
Build a snowman, out of sand
And let the waves wash him away
