In this festive episode of The Backstage Pass, we dive into the magic behind Queen's iconic holiday single, "Thank God It's Christmas." Released in 1984, this song has become a beloved anthem for the season, but its creation story might surprise you.

Join us as we explore how the legendary quartet—Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon, and the incomparable Freddie Mercury—came together to craft this holiday hit. Discover why Christmas songs are often written in the heat of summer, and how Roger Taylor's vision of the holiday's ironies shaped the lyrics.

We'll take you behind the scenes of the recording sessions, split between London and Munich, and discuss how this track, initially underestimated, became a timeless addition to Christmas playlists worldwide. Whether you're a die-hard Queen fan or just love a good Christmas tune, this episode is a must-listen.
