A Hand For Mrs. Claus
Idina Menzel Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every December, we always remember
To celebrate the fella in the suit
We see the promos for reindeer and his glow nose
Believe me, I think Rudolph's nose is cute
Now I'm a fan of Frosty, I go ga-ga for The Grinch
But beneath the hype, are they the type you'd turn to in a pinch?
There's someone more deserving of applause
How 'bout a hand for Mrs. Claus?

I'm not complaining, I'm sure it's very draining
Pulling off a Christmas Eve world tour
My point in this is it's his marvelous missus
Who gets it done the other three-six-four
Who's really checkin' all those lists
And fillin' all them shelves?
She's a master multitasker who works faster than the elves
Who keeps the North Pole hot 'til winter thaws?
The answer's clear, it's Mrs. Claus

She reads every Christmas letter
Fills out a Christmas sweater
Better than old Santa any day
She runs the operation
With no appreciation
Send a little Christmas love her way
Oh, oh yeah

She just gets no respect
She works so hard

Now I'll sing a fa-la-la
And I'll shout a ho-ho-ho
But I'm bouncin' out this ballad for the gal who runs the show
Join me in this very worthy cause
How 'bout a hand for? (ohh yeah)




Let's make it grand for (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Everybody stand for Mrs. Claus

Overall Meaning

The song “A Hand for Mrs. Claus” is a powerful tribute to Mrs. Claus, the wife of Santa Claus. The song highlights the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication of Mrs. Claus working alongside her husband. It shows the importance of the work that she does behind the scenes and how she keeps the North Pole running smoothly. The song touches on the fact that while Santa Claus may get all the credit for being the face of Christmas, it’s really Mrs. Claus who is managing the day-to-day operations.


The lyrics acknowledge that we all remember and celebrate Santa Claus, but forget that he has a partner who is pulling all the strings behind the scenes. The song highlights how Mrs. Claus is the master multi-tasker who works faster than the elves, reads every Christmas letter, and fills out Christmas sweaters better than Santa. The chorus calls on everyone to give Mrs. Claus the recognition she deserves by giving her a hand of applause.
