A festive burning question for Acca Dacca fans: Does AC/DC, the kings of hard rock, have any Christmas songs?
Well, uneducated music fan, buckle up, because the answer is a loud and proud yes. So although the track starts with the lyrics to “Jingle Bells” don’t expect it to be anything like that. This is AC/DC, so when they bring the holiday cheer, it’s in true rock ‘n’ roll fashion.
The band released a Christmas single called “Mistress for Christmas” in 1990, and let me tell you, it’s a total gem. It’s got all the AC/DC staples — big riffs, that killer rhythm section, and Angus Young’s signature guitar licks. The song is all about rocking out during the holidays, and it’s the perfect anthem for anyone who wants a little less snowflakes and a little more rock in their Christmas. It’s cheeky, it’s fun, and it’s got that no-holds-barred energy we all love about AC/DC.

Now, sure, it’s not exactly your traditional Christmas tune, but who wants traditional when you can have rock ‘n’ roll? “Mistress for Christmas” doesn’t just fit into the Christmas music playlist; it kicks the door open, cranks up the amps, and takes over the season with that signature AC/DC attitude. If you want a holiday season that’s loud, fun, and just a little bit rebellious, this is the track to spin. Also containing the beautiful lyrics:
“I can hear you coming down my smoke stack
I wanna ride on your reindeer, honey
And ring the bells, yeah”
So next time you’re looking to add a little more rock to your Christmas, just fire up AC/DC’s “Mistress for Christmas.” Trust me, it’ll make your holiday season way more fun.
Stay rockin’,
Sam 🤘🎄
