December 13, 2022 – Theme Week Day 2

This is the 2nd day of our theme week on Christmas songs! Today we’re talking about the holiday classic “White Christmas”. It was written by Irving Berlin for the musical Holiday Inn, which was released in 1942. The song was originally recorded by Bing Crosby, who first performed it on his radio program on Christmas day in 1941. In 1942 alone, Crosby’s recording spent 11 weeks at number 1 on the Billboard charts. It went on to become the world’s best-selling single as well as the most-recorded Christmas song. There are over 500 recorded versions in several different languages! Learn more here.
