Nope. It is a common belief though.
The movie 'Holiday Inn' (1942) Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire introduced the song 'White Christmas'. Wherein as the movie 'White Christmas' (1954) Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney was made due the popularity of the song.
Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
I had no idea! I never watched “Holiday Inn” because of that! Looks like I’ll get to watch a new old movie! :)
