Every Christmas season is filled with family traditions, including music, food and movies. One movie that must be added to the family Christmas collection this holiday season is “White Christmas.”

Let’s go back to 1954, into the world of “White Christmas.” A musical film directed by Michael Curtiz and set to the music of legendary songwriter Irving Berlin.

The film entertains all through singing, dancing, and acting performances by entertainment legends.

After Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) saves the life of Broadway star Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) in the war, he takes advantage of the old saying “I owe you one,” by convincing Bob that he and Phil should combine acts. After doing so, and having great success, they then meet the Haynes sisters (Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen) performing at a Miami nightclub.

Phil and Judy (Vera Ellen) then come up with a plan to set-up Bob and Betty (Rosemary Clooney), the workaholics of the two duos. While traveling to Vermont the four of them stay at the lodge of Bob and Phil’s admired general from the army. After realizing the financial struggles of their former general, the four of them decide to bring their stage shows to the general’s lodge in attempt to acquire more guests.
