Interesting facts and trivia about When Christmas Comes Around. By Songfacts®.

Matt Terry is a singer from Bromley, Kent. He beat Saara Aalto in the final of the thirteenth series of the UK TV singing competition The X Factor and was then joined onstage by his former competitors as he performed this song.

The song was written by Ed Sheeran and Bristol singer-songwriter Amy Wadge especially for the 2016 winner of The X Factor. Other collaborations between Sheeran and Wadge include the singer-songwriter's hit single, "Thinking Out Loud."

Lyrically, this is a Christmas song, in which Terry sings of his wish that his ex could love him again so they could be together over the festive period. Wadge recalled to the BBC: "We said 'let's write a Christmas song' and that's what we did. We wrote this song and Ed said we should send it to Simon Cowell and then I got a call to say it's the X Factor's winners single."
