Aren't surprise gifts the best? Little nuggets that come seemingly out of nowhere to give you the warm and fuzzys?

That's what Taylor Swift gave her fans today when the pop icon dropped her new song and music video "Christmas Tree Farm" at midnight Friday.

It's a nostalgic ditty, about days past when Christmas was much simpler (and way less stressful).

"My winter nights are taken up by static, stress and holiday shopping traffic," Swift begins. "I close my eyes, and I'm somewhere else just like magic."

In the upbeat song, Swift continues to describe a "Christmas tree farm" in her "heart." The music video includes several adorable home videos of the young pop icon, who grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania.

In one shot, a much smaller Swift, clad in pink footie pajamas, digs through her stocking. In another, the future Grammy-winning artist rips through green gift-wrap to unveil an acoustic guitar. Not to mention the precious clip of her on Santa's lap.

Taylor Swift to release Christmas song (at midnight!) and a music video 'made from home videos'

On Thursday, Swift, 29, announced she'd written a holiday song and would be releasing it at midnight.

When in doubt, ask the itty bitty pretty kitty committee. When they shun you with silence, ambivalence, and judgmental brush offs... just put the song out anyway.

"Hey, I know this pretty wild, but I've just written a Christmas song. I feel like it's weird to just, like, wait a year to put it out? I don't have anyone to ask right now except for…" Swift said in the video clip before turning the camera onto her cat. "Meredith, should I put out a Christmas song, like, now? K, that's hard to tell."
