"Mistletoe" is an original Christmas song written and performed by Colbie Caillat. It was co-written by Caillat's friend and former manager, Stacy Blue, and producer Mikal Blue. "Mistletoe" was released as a standalone single on November 20, 2007. A re-recorded version of the song was included on Caillat's 2012 holiday album, Christmas in the Sand.
"Mistletoe" was composed in the key of C Major and set to a "moderately slow" tempo of 60 BPM.[1] Caillat's vocals range from G3 through C5. The song discusses the experience of spending Christmas time without family or loved ones and represents a "slower paced romantic song" in contrast to the other, generally uptempo, original tracks on Christmas in the Sand.[2][3]
