"All Alone on Christmas" is a song written and arranged by Steve Van Zandt, and recorded by Darlene Love with members of both The E Street Band and The Miami Horns. It was originally featured on the soundtrack of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. It was also released as a 7-inch single and a CD single which included an instrumental version.
The song returned Love's name to the music singles charts, peaking at No. 83 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and at No. 31 on the official UK Singles Chart.
The third track on the single was a Christmas remix of The Capitols "Cool Jerk" which was also taken from the same film soundtrack. The single was influenced by Phil Spector's Wall of Sound and is recorded in the style of the Spector-produced Love song "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," which is referenced in the song. The single featured a promotional photo of Love with the five members of the E Street Band who featured on the track. A promotional video featured Macaulay Culkin "producing" as Love performed the song with The E Street Band and The Miami Horns, and it features clips from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. The song was also featured in the films Love Actually, The Night Before and in the 2001 Italian film Merry Christmas.

The song was covered by RuPaul for his 1997 Christmas album entitled Ho, Ho, Ho.
