“Snow for Johnny” is a Christmas song recorded by Burl Ives in 1959. Written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett, the song was released as a single and became a seasonal favorite during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Known for its sentimental lyrics and warm, festive melody, the song tells the story of a child’s Christmas wish for snow. While not as enduringly popular as some of Ives’ other holiday classics, such as A Holly Jolly Christmas, it remains a cherished part of his Christmas music catalog. The song was released during the peak of Ives’ career, as he was establishing himself as a beloved folk and holiday music singer.
