"Where Are You Christmas?" is a song written by Mariah Carey, James Horner and Will Jennings for the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 2000.[1] In the film, it is first sung by Taylor Momsen, who played Cindy Lou Who under the title, "Christmas, Why Can't I Find You?".[2]
Mariah Carey wrote a full-length pop version of the song with additional lyrics for the film's soundtrack. The song was originally recorded by Carey, but because of a legal case with her ex-husband Tommy Mottola, it could not be released, so it was re-recorded and released by Faith Hill.[2] A CD single of Hill's rendition was released December 11, 2000.[3] A video was released featuring Hill singing from the Grinch's mountaintop home, interspersed with clips from the film and a cameo appearance by Momsen as Cindy Lou Who.
