"Another Rock and Roll Christmas" is a 1984 Christmas song by English glam rock singer Gary Glitter, written by Glitter with Mike Leander and Eddie (Edward John) Seago and produced by Leander. It was one of the most played Christmas hits on UK radio from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, preceding Glitter's 1997 arrest, and 1999 conviction for possession of child pornography. Initially released in 1984, the song was later included on Glitter's fifth studio album, Boys Will Be Boys (1984) and was reissued many times, both as a single (including a collectors picture disc) and on several Christmas compilation albums that were released from 1984–1998.
