James Lord Pierpont originally copyrighted the song with the name "The One Horse Open Sleigh" on September 16, 1857.{{cite web|date=September 16, 1857|author=Pierpont, J.|title=One Horse Open Sleigh|location=Boston|publisher=Oliver Ditson & Co.|url=http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=sm1820&fileName=sm2%2Fsm1857%2F620000%2F620520%2Fmussm620520.db&recNum=0&itemLink=r%3Fammem%2Fmussm%3A%40filreq%28%40field%28NUMBER+%40band%28sm1857+620520%29%29+%40field%28COLLID+sm1820%29%29&linkText=0|access-date=December 26, 2006|archive-date=January 26, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126185905/http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=sm1820&fileName=sm2%2Fsm1857%2F620000%2F620520%2Fmussm620520.db&recNum=0&itemLink=r%3Fammem%2Fmussm%3A%40filreq%28%40field%28NUMBER+%40band%28sm1857+620520%29%29+%40field%28COLLID+sm1820%29%29&linkText=0|url-status=live}} The songwriting credit given was "Song and Chorus written and composed by J. Pierpont." Possibly intended as a drinking song, it did not become a Christmas song until decades after it was first performed. Pierpont dedicated the song to John P. Ordway, Esq., an organizer of a troupe called "Ordway's Aeolians".Staff (2014, updated 2022) [https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/james-lord-pierpont-10-unusual-facts-life/ "10 Unusual Facts About James Lord Pierpont"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230327223106/https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/james-lord-pierpont-10-unusual-facts-life/|date=March 27, 2023}} New England Historical Society

It is an unsettled question where and when Pierpont originally composed the song that would become known as "Jingle Bells". A plaque at 19 High Street in the center of Medford Square in Medford, Massachusetts, commemorates the "birthplace" of "Jingle Bells", and claims that Pierpont wrote the song there in 1850, at what was then the Simpson Tavern. Previous local history narratives claim the song was inspired by the town's popular sleigh races during the 19th century.{{cite web|author=Wilcox, Kris|url=http://www.uuworld.org/ideas/articles/298769.shtml|title=James Lord Pierpont and the mystery of 'Jingle Bells'|date=December 15, 2014|website=UU World|access-date=September 23, 2016|archive-date=March 16, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150316152206/http://uuworld.org/ideas/articles/298769.shtml|url-status=live}} Researcher Kyna Hamil proposes that the song was composed in Boston, before Pierpont moved to Savannah in the fall of 1857.

The song was republished in 1859 by Oliver Ditson and Company, 277 Washington Street, Boston, with the new title "Jingle Bells; or, The One Horse Open Sleigh". Its sheet music cover featured a drawing of sleigh bells around the title.{{Cite web |url=https://levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/collection/062/029 |title=Jingle Bells. Johns Hopkins.

"Jingle Bells" was first performed on September 15, 1857, at Ordway Hall in Boston by blackface minstrel performer Johnny Pell. The song was in the then-popular style or genre of "sleighing songs". Pierpont's lyrics are strikingly similar to lines from many other popular sleigh-riding songs of the time; researcher Kyna Hamill argued that this, along with his constant need for money, led him to compose and release the song solely as a financial enterprise: "Everything about the song is churned out and copied from other people and lines from other songs—there's nothing original about it."

By the time the song was released and copyrighted, Pierpont had relocated to Savannah, Georgia, to serve as organist and music director of that city's Unitarian Church (now Unitarian Universalist), where his brother, Rev. John Pierpont Jr., served as minister. In August 1857, Pierpont married Eliza Jane Purse, daughter of the mayor of Savannah. Pierpont remained in Savannah and never returned north.[http://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/Hymns_and_Carols/Biographies/james_lord_pierpont.htm "James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) Author of 'Jingle Bells'"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201231173658/http://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/Hymns_and_Carols/Biographies/james_lord_pierpont.htm |date=December 31, 2020 }} on the Hymns and Carols of Christmas website

The double meaning of "upsot" (an old variant of the past tense of "upset") was thought humorous, as a sleigh ride gave an unescorted couple a rare chance to be together, unchaperoned, in distant woods or fields, with all the opportunities that afforded. This upset became the climactic component of a sleigh-ride outing within the sleigh narrative.

James Lord Pierpont's 1857 composition "Jingle Bells" became one of the most performed and most recognizable secular holiday songs ever written, not only in the United States, but around the world. In recognition of this achievement, James Lord Pierpont was voted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}}

"Jingle Bells" was first recorded by banjoist Will Lyle on October 30, 1889 (attested A T E Wangemann Logbook, p. 114), on an Edison cylinder, but no surviving copies are known to exist.{{Cite web|url=http://www.dawnofsound.com/2008/12/voices-of-christmas-past-2/|title=Voices of Christmas Past|publisher=dawnofsound.com|date=December 2, 2008|access-date=January 9, 2017|language=en-US|archive-date=January 31, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210131112927/http://www.dawnofsound.com/2008/12/voices-of-christmas-past-2/|url-status=live}} The earliest surviving vocal recording was made by the Edison Male Quartette in 1898, also on an Edison cylinder (and 1898 Columbia brown wax 4090), as part of a 'Christmas' medley titled "Sleigh Ride Party". There is a version by the Hayden Quartet called Sleigh Ride Party recorded in 1901.{{Cite web |title=Sleigh Ride Party |website=Library of Congress |url=https://www.loc.gov/item/jukebox-5363/}} In 1902, the Hayden Quartet recorded "Jingle Bells". The song became a Christmas favorite in the early twentieth century.

"Jingle Bells" was one of the first songs to be broadcast from space, in a Christmas-themed prank by Gemini 6 astronauts Tom Stafford and Wally Schirra. While in space on December 16, 1965, they sent this report to Mission Control:

{{blockquote|C6: Gemini VII, this is Gemini VI. We have an object, looks like a satellite going from north to south, probably in a polar orbit.

The astronauts then produced a smuggled harmonica and sleigh bells, and with Schirra on the harmonica and Stafford on the bells, broadcast a rendition of "Jingle Bells".{{cite web|last=Edwards|first=Owen|date=December 2005|url=http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/day-two-astronauts-said-they-saw-ufo-santa-suit-109444898/|title=The Day Two Astronauts Said They Saw a UFO Wearing a Red Suit|work=Smithsonian Magazine|page=25|access-date=March 21, 2017|archive-date=December 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201211063046/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/day-two-astronauts-said-they-saw-ufo-santa-suit-109444898/|url-status=live}}{{cite book|title=The QI Third Book of General Ignorance|first1=John|last1=Mitchinson|first2=John|last2=Lloyd|author3=Andrew Hunter Murray|first4=James|last4=Harkin|publisher=Faber & Faber|date=September 23, 2015|page=90|location=London, England|isbn=9780571308989}} The harmonica, shown to the press upon their return, was a Hohner "Little Lady", a tiny harmonica approximately {{convert|1|in|cm|spell=in}} long, by {{convert|3/8|in|cm|adj=pre|of an}} wide.

Music historian James Fuld notes that (as opposed to an adjective), "the word jingle in the title and opening phrase is apparently an imperative verb."Fuld, James J. (2012) The Book of World-Famous Music (Fifth Edition) New York: Dover Publications, p. 313. {{ISBN|9780486414751}} In the winter in New England in pre-automobile days, it was common to adorn horses' harnesses with straps bearing bells as a way to avoid collisions at blind intersections, since a horse-drawn sleigh in snow produces almost no audible noise. The rhythm of the tune apparently mimics that of a trotting horse's bells; however, "jingle bells" is commonly interpreted to mean a certain kind of bell.

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bob tail ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight!

:Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,

:Jingle all the way.

:Oh! what fun it is to ride

:In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey!

:Jingle bells, jingle bells,

:Jingle all the way;

:Oh! what fun it is to ride

:In a one-horse open sleigh.

Although less well-known than the opening, the remaining verses depict high-speed youthful fun. In the second verse, the narrator takes a ride with a girl and loses control of the sleigh:

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon, Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side,

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

He got into a drifted bank

And then we got {{not a typo|upsot}}."Upsot" is an archaic or dialectic variant of the past tense of "upset", which allows the line to rhyme with "lot".

::|: chorus :|

In the next verse (which is often skipped), he falls out of the sleigh and a rival laughs at him:

A day or two ago,

The story I must tell

I went out on the snow,

And on my back I fell;

A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleigh,

He laughed as there I sprawling lie,

But quickly drove away. Ah!

::|: chorus :|

In the last verse, after relating his experience, he gives advice to a friend to pick up some girls, find a faster horse, and take off at full speed:

Now the ground is white

Go it while you're young,

Take the girls tonight

and sing this sleighing song;

Just get a bobtailed bay

Two forty as his speedTwo forty refers to a mile in two minutes and forty seconds at the trot, or {{convert|22.5|mph|km/h}}. This is a good speed, and suggests the desired horse of that era was a type later known as a Standardbred.

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And snap! You'll take the lead.

The two first stanzas and chorus of the original 1857 lyrics differed slightly from those known today. It is unknown who replaced the words with those of the modern version. Underlined lyrics are the removed lyrics from the original version. Bold lyrics are the new lyrics in the current version.

The original 1857 version of "Jingle Bells" featured a substantially different chorus. The progression of descending chords in the original refrain (A{{music|flat}}–E{{music|flat}}/G–Fm–C–D{{music|flat}}–A{{music|flat}}/E{{music|flat}}–E{{music|flat}}⁷–A{{music|flat}}; in Roman numeral analysis, I–V⁶–vi–V/vi–IV–I{{su|b=4|p=6}}–V⁷–I) bears some resemblance to that of Pachelbel's Canon. The verses, on the other hand, have mostly the same melody (with some minor simplifications) in modern renditions as they did in 1857. The origin of the simpler, modern refrain is unknown, but it dates back at least 1898, when the oldest surviving phonograph recording of the song was released through Edison Records.

The "Jingle Bells" tune is used in French and German songs, although the lyrics are unrelated to the English lyrics. Both songs celebrate winter fun, as in the English version. The French song, titled "Vive le vent" ("Long Live the Wind"), was written by Francis Blanche{{cite web|title=Vive le vent (French chorus and literal English translation)|url=http://french.about.com/library/blxm-vivelevent.htm|publisher=About.com|access-date=December 26, 2006|archive-date=February 15, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090215200449/http://french.about.com/library/blxm-vivelevent.htm|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title=Vive le vent (with verses and augmented refrain)|url=http://www.paroles.net/chansons/23868.htm|publisher=Paroles.net|access-date=December 26, 2006|archive-date=April 20, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120420234633/http://www.paroles.net/chansons/23868.htm|url-status=live}} and contains references to Father Time, Baby New Year, and New Year's Day.

Like many simple, catchy, and popular melodies, "Jingle Bells" is often the subject of parody. "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells" has been a well-known parody since the mid-1960s,{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/36591175/?match=1&terms=%22Batman%20smells%22&clipping_id=82059715|newspaper=The Lawton Constitution|date=January 3, 1967|title=bill crawford|first=Bill|last=Crawford}} with many variations on the lyrics.{{cite book |title=American Children's Folklore |url=https://archive.org/details/americanchildren00augu |url-access=registration |last=Bronner |first=Simon J. |year=1988 |publisher=August House |page=[https://archive.org/details/americanchildren00augu/page/105 105]}} It has been referenced several times in official Batman media, notably appearing in the second episode of Batman: The Animated Series, "Christmas with the Joker". It also appears in the first episode of The Simpsons, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", which led the series to be misattributed with creating the parody.{{cite video |title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode 'Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire' |medium=DVD |publisher=20th Century Fox |year=2001 |people=Groening, Matt}}

Parodies or novelty versions of "Jingle Bells" have been recorded by many artists, and include Yogi Yorgesson's "Yingle Bells", Da Yoopers' "Rusty Chevrolet",{{cite news | url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/273493683/ | title=Come and say, yah hey: 'Rusty Chevrolet' rolls into holiday hit | work=Wausau Daily Herald | date=December 24, 1986 | accessdate=November 28, 2022 | author=Tom Berger | pages=1A | archive-date=November 29, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221129001822/https://www.newspapers.com/image/273493683/ | url-status=live }} Bucko and Champs' "Aussie Jingle Bells", The Three Stooges' "Jingle Bell Drag", and Jeff Dunham's "Jingle Bombs", performed in his "Achmed the Dead Terrorist" sketch. Another popular spoof of the song is "Pumpkin Bells", a "Pumpkin Carol" which celebrates Halloween and the "Great Pumpkin". It originated in The Peanuts Book of Pumpkin Carols,The Peanuts Book of Pumpkin Carols, Ambassador Cards a booklet based on the Peanuts comic strip and published by Hallmark Cards in the 1960s.{{cite book |last= Lind|first=Stephen |date=2015 |title=A Charlie Brown Religion |publisher=University Press of Mississippi |page=222 |isbn=978-1-4968-0468-6}}

The Australian "Aussie Jingle Bells" written by Colin Buchanan, broadly translates the idea of the original song to the summertime Christmas of the Southern hemisphere, making reference to a Holden ute and Kelpie.

"Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms pays homage to "Jingle Bells", directly referencing the source song's lyrics, but with a different melody. Originally recorded and released by Helms in a rockabilly style, "Jingle Bell Rock" has itself since become a Christmas standard.{{cite book |title=Stories Behind the Greatest Hits of Christmas |url=https://archive.org/details/storiesbehindgre0000coll |url-access=registration |last=Collins |first=Ace |year=2010 |publisher=Zondervan |pages=[https://archive.org/details/storiesbehindgre0000coll/page/101 101–103]|isbn=9780310327950 }}

"Tintinabulations" is a novelty arrangement of the song for full orchestra by American Katherine W. Punwar. "The Compostion" in J. S. Pierpont. Tintinabulations. Arranged by Katherine W. Punwar. San Diego: Neil A. Kjos Music Company, 1986. p. 2. It consists of 19th and 20th century stylistic variations of "Jingle Bells" and is sometimes performed by classical orchestras for their Christmas concerts.{{cn|date=December 2024}}

The first notes in the chorus have become a motif that has been inserted into recordings of other Christmas songs, most notably at the beginning and end of Bing Crosby's "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas"; a guitar passage at the end of Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song"; and Clarence Clemons performing a saxophone solo in the middle of Bruce Springsteen's "Merry Christmas Baby". A piano is also heard playing these notes at the end of Springsteen's version of "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town". A slow version of the chorus opening forms the conclusion of Stan Freberg's 1957 "Green Chri$tma$", interspersed with cash-register noises. Mariah Carey utilizes a bit of the melody in her song "When Christmas Comes". Joni Mitchell's 1971 song "River" begins with a melancholy version of the chorus on piano.{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2018/12/07/how-thoroughly-depressing-joni-mitchell-song-became-blue-christmas-classic/|title=How a 'thoroughly depressing' Joni Mitchell song became a blue Christmas classic|last=du Lac|first=J.
