Coldplay's rendition of the holiday classic "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"[2] was also included on the 2002 compilation album Maybe This Christmas, which benefited the charitable activities of the Toys for Tots Foundation.[3] The live performance later appeared on the physical 10th anniversary release of the Christmas Lights 7" single

This modern remake of the classic Christmas song is piano-driven,[4] with a very mellow pace.[5]
