"Child of Winter (Christmas Song)" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys that was released as a standalone single on December 23, 1974. Written by Brian Wilson and Stephen Kalinich, it was the only Beach Boys single issued between the albums Holland and 15 Big Ones. The B-side was "Susie Cincinnati".
In a 1997 interview, Kalinich said of the song,
An early version with Dennis Wilson on lead vocals and Carl Wilson singing the bridge is reported to exist.
When released in other countries, the single featured the live version of "Good Vibrations" from The Beach Boys in Concert as a B-side.
"Child of Winter (Christmas Song)" was included on the band's 1998 compilation Ultimate Christmas.
