Written in 1941 by Irving Berlin.
Perhaps one of the most recognizable Christmas songs of all time found its way into my top 5 at #4.
The Bing Crosby classic which currently is most likely known from the 1954 film of the same name "White Christmas" actually first appeared in the 1942 film "Holiday Inn". "Holiday Inn" featured Bing Crosby as well and, in fact, garnered Irving Berlin an Academy Award for Best Original Song with White Christmas.
White Christmas was written during WW2 and its picturesque lyrics conjure up images that the men and women who were affected by the war related with and added to its popularity. Nowadays, with climate change a large portion of the world relate to this song quite simply because we are running out of white Christmas'.
True story.
