White Christmas is a compilation album of Christmas songs by Bing Crosby. It was released through Laserlight Digital in Germany in 1991,[1] the US in 1992,[2] and the UK in 1995.[3] Portions of the album come from recordings from Crosby's Philco Radio Time show on December 24, 1947.[4]

Reception

AllMusic's retrospective review of the album lamented what they determined as "slipshod packaging" along with poor sound quality, but praised the album for having "a good selection of carols", calling it an "entertaining listen" best for casual fans.[5]
