It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" is a classic Christmas song. Originally titled "It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas", the song was written by Meredith Willson in 1951. The song has been recorded by many artists, but was a hit by Perry Como & The Fontane Sisters with Michell Ayres & his Orchestra in 1951 on RCA Victor 47-4314(45rpm) / 20-4314(78rpm). Bing Crosby recorded a version shortly after which was also widely played.

In 1986, Johnny Mathis recorded the song for his album Christmas Eve with Johnny Mathis; this version gained popularity after its inclusion in the 1992 film Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Gradually, Mathis' recording began to receive wide radio airplay, and for the past several years this version has been a Top 10 Christmas hit.
