Imagine a horse-drawn sleigh coasting leisurely through the park with blanket-coated passengers in tow. This music features a bright melody, a sparkly glockenspiel part, and jingle bells to mimic the sound of the sleigh. The melody is passed around to multiple sections in this light-hearted, and very playable addition to any holiday program.

At times, the piece feels more like a fantasy than an arrangement as the melody weaves through an increasingly complex series of textures and harmonies before returning to the plaintive sounds of the opening.
