There's the snow
Look out below
And bundle up
Cause here it comes
Run outside
So starry eyed
A snowball fight breaks out
And winter has finally begun
I twirl through the driveway with angelic grace
Till I slip on the sidewalk and fall on my face
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don't need to taste to believe
What's December without Christmas Eve
Hop in the sleigh
And we'll glide away
Into the night
And we'll sip on moonlight
Runny nose
My frosty toes
Are getting cold but I feel alive
So I smile wide
The snowflakes start falling and I start to float
Till my mean older brother stuffs snow down my coat
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don't need to taste to believe
What's December without Christmas Eve
All this holiday cheer
Heaven knows where it goes
But it returns every year
And though this winter does nothing but storm
The joy in my heart is ablaze and it's keeping me warm
It's keeping me warm
It's keeping me warm
I rip off the wrapping and tear through the box
Till I end up with 45 new pairs of socks
This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet
I don't need to taste to believe
What's December without Christmas Eve

Owl City's song 'Peppermint Winter' is a cheerful Christmas tune that celebrates the simple joys of the season, from snowball fights and sledding to unwrapping gifts. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of winter fun, with references to snow, frosty toes, and holiday cheer. The song emphasizes the magic of Christmas Eve and the warmth of joy that persists even in cold weather. While it mentions 'Heaven knows' and 'joy in my heart,' the focus is on the festive atmosphere rather than explicit Christian themes. The song is a lighthearted, secular Christmas song.
