'Mistletoe and Wine' is a popular single by Cliff Richard.Written by Jeremy Paul, Leslie Stewart and Keith Strachan, it was originally performed by Twiggy in a TV musical based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl in 1986.
As written, 'Mistletoe and Wine' had a different meaning to that for which it came to be known. The writers wanted a "satirical Christmas carol" for the scene in the musical where the Little Match Girl is kicked out into the snow.
Richard liked the song but wanted to change the lyrics to reflect a more religious theme, to which the writers agreed. Cliff's 99th single, it became his 12th UK number one single, spending four weeks at the top in December 1988 - selling 750,000 copies in the process. It was the best-selling single of 1988 in the UK.
It was also used in a British public information film about drink driving, with the intention of scaring motorists. In December 2007 the single entered at number 68 on the UK Singles Chart by virtue of downloads.
