“Best Place To Be At Christmas” is one of those songs that doesn’t rush you, it pulls up a chair and lets the season breathe. Alan Eberlein and Stephen Cornwell tap into something universal here: no matter where you are on the map, Christmas hits hardest when you’re trying to get home.

The writing opens up north, where winter is doing the most. Icy roads, long drives, and plans getting delayed feel instantly familiar. That small detail about Grandma’s cookies waiting another day says everything without saying too much. Then the song flips the scene down south, warm night air, stars overhead, church bells ringing out. Different climates, same feeling. Same songs. Same pull toward home.
The chorus is simple, and that’s the point. “Christmas, Christmas, your home is the best place to be at” lands like a steady truth rather than a big statement. It’s easy to sing, easy to remember, and built for repeat listens. You can hear it working in the car, in the kitchen, or quietly playing while the house fills up.

The bridge leans into pure atmosphere, pine, cinnamon, dinner in the oven and then gently grounds the song in meaning. The reminder that love was born on Christmas night gives the track its emotional anchor without turning it into a sermon. It’s reflective, warm, and sincere in a way that feels earned.
“Best Place To Be At Christmas” feels tailor-made for seasonal rotation. It’s cozy without being cheesy, reflective without slowing the mood, and relatable whether you’re snowed in up north or enjoying a calm southern night. A solid, homespun Christmas song that knows exactly what it wants to be, and does it well.
