Winter Wonderland is the fifth song from the sixth series (released as the first in the UK, and the fourth in the US), and is about the Christmas and winter holidays. It is based on the winter theme from the same season.
Lyrics
This is the story of Thomas' winter wonderland.
It's a winter wonderland
See the snow lay all around
Bells are ringing, Ding-a-ling-a-ling, Ding, dong
Sleigh bells jingle
Home for the holiday we go
Rushing to our winter wonderland
It's a winter wonderland
Little engine working hard
His snowplough heaving, Chug-a-chug-a-chug, Chug Choo
Bother this silly snow!
Don't hold me up, please don't delay
Must get to my winter wonderland
It's Thomas' winter wonderland
Climb aboard and join us if you can
See main line engines rushing to and fro
Festive decorations, people rushing home
Branch line engines circle through the snow
Firesides blaze, through winter haze
Happy holidays
Look, everybody! There's Thomas.
And Percy.
And James and Gordon and Henry.
And look! Edward and Toby, too!
Home for the holiday we go
Rushing to our winter wonderland
It's Thomas' winter wonderland
Climb aboard and join us if you can
See Terence the Tractor clear away the snow
Bertie Bus is wonderful. Just look at him go!
Seasons greetings; Happy Holidays
Close your eyes, dream your dreams
See how the magic stays
It's a winter wonderland
See the snow lay all around
Bells are ringing, Ding-a-ling-a-ling, Ding, dong
Children singing
Home for the holiday we go
Rushing to our winter wonderland
Our winter wonderland
Our winter wonderland

Trivia
This was the only sixth series song to be released in the UK on VHS/DVD until James the Really Splendid Engine on 7 August 2017, although it was the CGI version of the music video instead.
It is also the only sixth series song to be released in the UK before the US.
The song is named after the popular Christmas song of the same name , written in 1934 by Felix Bernard and Richard B. Smith.
Stock footage from The Snow Song is used.
The close-up shot of the church tower, the scene of Thomas passing Maithwaite with Annie and Clarabel and the two scenes of Tower Windmill are widescreen shots that are stretched into the 4:3 format.
A deleted scene of Duncan crossing the Rheneas Viaduct was later used in the opening of the seventh series episode, Not So Hasty Puddings .
