Bing Crosby made the most famous Christmas track of all time, especially when considering the fact that few people bought records in those day, yet it was the best seller for decades and is still popular with young and old alike.
It was written in 1940 by Irving Berlin, it has sold millions of copies since then and is still bought each year at this time.
Here's the feature clip from the film Holiday Inn, made in 1942:

My personal favourite Christmas music is silent night, but not sung or played, just silence.
