The best‑known version of “Where Are You Christmas?” is sung by country singer Faith Hill for the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas soundtrack.

In the movie itself, a shorter earlier version of the song (under the title “Christmas, Why Can’t I Find You?”) is sung by Taylor Momsen in character as Cindy Lou Who.

The song was written by Mariah Carey, James Horner, and Will Jennings; Carey originally recorded a version, but legal issues reportedly prevented its release, leading to Faith Hill’s version becoming the official commercial recording most people know.
