"Christmas Must Be Tonight" is a song by Canadian-American rock group the Band, written by Robbie Robertson. It was released on their seventh studio album Islands (1977). Like much of the material on Islands, the song was an outtake from an earlier session, originating from the sessions for Northern Lights – Southern Cross (1975). Though the song was originally intended for release as a single in December 1975, Capitol Records' lack of interest led to the song remaining unreleased until its inclusion on Islands.
