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.

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.
