Mele Kalikimaka是夏威夷人過圣誕節(jié)時的祝福語Merry Christmas（圣誕快樂），此曲由R. Alex Anderson于1949年創(chuàng)作。1950年，首次被Bing Crosby和the Andrews Sisters演唱。

在1820年之前，夏威夷從來不慶祝圣誕節(jié)。當庫克船長和他的船員們抵達這里后，便把慶祝圣誕節(jié)的習俗帶到了夏威夷。夏威夷把圣誕節(jié)叫作“Kalikimaka”，是英文Christmas的音譯。因此圣誕快樂就是“Mele Kalikimaka”。伴隨著冬日的陽光和愉悅的心情，在這溫暖的圣誕，一起說“Mele Kalikimaka”吧!
