==Song==
The song was first introduced in the 1942 film ''[[Holiday Inn (movie)|Holiday Inn]]'', released August 1942, which was a [[musical]] about an [[inn]] which was only open on 12 [[holiday]]s each year. Despite it's original [[August]] release, ''Holiday Inn'' became popular as a [[Christmas]] movie, because of the Christmas portion closing the film, and because of the popularity of the song "White Christmas".

"White Christmas" was also recorded by Bing Crosby that same year, and topped the charts in October 1942. In 1947, Bing Crosby re-recorded the song and re-released it. It has re-entered and often topped the charts many years since during the [[December]] Christmas season. It is listed by the ''[[Guinness Book of World Records]]'' as having sold more than 50 million copies as a single, making it the best-selling single of all time in the United States.
