John Lennon and Yoko Ono's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" is one of the most enduring protest songs ever written, and it's now available on 12-inch zoetrope vinyl on Complex.
Released during the height of the Vietnam War, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" was more than a seasonal single. It was the culmination of Lennon and Ono's "War Is Over! If You Want It" campaign, a global peace initiative that saw billboards erected in major cities around the world.
The song featured the Harlem Community Choir and carried a simple, direct message that resonated across generations. Over five decades later, it remains a holiday staple and a reminder of the couple's commitment to using their platform for activism.
