Released in the US in 1971 and in the UK the following year, Happy Xmas (War Is Over) had its roots in a 1969 peace campaign staged by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

The campaign had been launched on December 15, 1969 in 12 cities around the world: New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Rome, Athens, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Helsinki. White posters with stark black lettering appeared, stating: "War is over! If you want it. Happy Christmas from John & Yoko". Two years later Lennon turned the idea into what would become an evergreen festive song.

Although Happy Xmas (War Is Over) was ostensibly about the Vietnam war, it proved a universal message understood worldwide. Lennon had experimented with anthem messages in songs such as Give Peace A Chance and Power To The People and again produced a simple lyrical refrain which he hoped anyone could understand.
