The timeless bond between Christmas songs and iconic films
Christmas songs have an unparalleled ability to transport us to a world of nostalgia, joy, and warmth. Many of these beloved tunes owe their enduring popularity to tradition and their inclusion in iconic films that have become an essential part of holiday celebrations. FiveThirtyEight reveals the latest popular music in the film. Take Jingle Bells, for instance. It was never meant to be a Christmas song written in 1857 by James Lord Pierpont and originally titled One Horse Open Sleigh. Intended as a Thanksgiving tune, it wasn’t until decades later that it became a quintessential holiday classic. Its cheerful melody has since found a home in countless films, cementing its place in the hearts of audiences worldwide.
