Billy Mack – Christmas Is All Around (Christmas Song)

 

“Christmas Is All Around” is a holiday song performed by the fictional character Billy Mack (played by Bill Nighy) in the 2003 film Love Actually.

The track is a festive parody of the real-life song “Love Is All Around,” originally written by Reg Presley and performed by The Troggs in 1967.  It specifically mimics the style of the 1994 cover by Wet Wet Wet, which spent 15 weeks at number one in the UK.

In the film, Billy Mack is an aging rock star attempting a comeback by releasing this “rubbish” Christmas single, which eventually becomes the surprise Christmas Number One.
