HOLIDAY INN (G, 1942)/ WHITE CHRISTMAS (G, 1954)

As intrinsically linked as nutmeg and eggnog, both of these Irving Berlin musicals boast Bing Crosby warbling "White Christmas"-and the holiday simply isn't Christmas without at least one viewing of Ba-Ba Bing crooning to Marjorie Reynolds/ Rosemary Clooney, right?  Your basic boy meets/loses/wins girl story is the guts of both songfests with Fred Astaire/Danny Kaye providing the dance expertise and comic relief.  You may know the songs and dialogue by heart but it never gets old.
