Meet the song

Sing, learn and connect

Holiday Is Coming captures the excitement children feel as the school term comes to an end. It is also a nostalgic favourite for adults who remember singing about the holidays in their own childhoods. Share the music, the anticipation and the memories with the next generation.

Turn the sing-along into a simple holiday planning activity. Children can suggest something to learn, somewhere to explore nearby, and a person they would like to spend time with. Plans do not need to be expensive: a library visit, a family game or a shared story can be something to look forward to.
