In a heartwarming seasonal collaboration, the late Bing Crosby has been immortalised in claymation to perform the holiday classic, ‘Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!’ alongside contemporary country artist Lainey Wilson. The original track was released by Crosby back in 1962, exuding his timeless love for the festive season. Despite his passing from a heart attack at the age of 74 in 1977, his spirit lives on through this festive rendition.
The enchanting video features Wilson, aged 33, gazing into a snow globe and being whisked away to a whimsical world where she joins the iconic singer and actor in a cosy wood cabin to celebrate Christmas. Their shared experience unfolds with moments of holiday mishaps and culminates in Wilson sipping Hershey’s chocolate syrup and milk straight from their respective containers.
The collaboration has garnered widespread attention and admiration, with Wilson taking to Instagram to share the magical experience. Her caption, “Step into my snowy little daydream ❄️,” captures the essence of the collaboration and the joy it brings to fans of both artists.
Crosby’s interpretation of ‘Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!’ first graced audiences in October 1962 as part of his renowned holiday album, ‘I Wish You a Merry Christmas’. The song, originally introduced by Vaughn Monroe in 1945, has been reimagined by various artists over the years, including the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jessica Simpson, and Michael Bublé, each bringing their unique touch to the beloved classic.
This year holds special significance for Hershey’s as they mark 35 years since the debut of their cherished “Holiday Bells” commercial, featuring Hershey’s Kisses as musical bells playing ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’. To commemorate this milestone, Hershey’s has curated an interactive experience at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Fans can engage with an LED musical mat that replicates the iconic sounds of the ad, bringing a sense of nostalgia and festive cheer to all participants.
The enduring appeal of Bing Crosby’s music coupled with Lainey Wilson’s contemporary flair has struck a chord with audiences worldwide, uniting generations through the power of music and animation. This heartwarming collaboration serves as a testament to the timelessness of holiday classics and the ability of art to transcend boundaries and bring people together in the spirit of joy and celebration.
As fans continue to immerse themselves in the magic of this seasonal partnership, the legacy of Bing Crosby and the vibrant talent of Lainey Wilson shine brightly, illuminating the holiday season with their enchanting rendition of ‘Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!’.
