Multi-Platinum and award-winning Country music star Scotty McCreery is getting us all in the holiday spirit with the release of his rendition of the classic Christmas tune, “White Christmas,” out now. Written in 1942 by Irving Berlin, the song has long been a holiday standard that elicits a feeling of nostalgia and being close to the ones you love. McCreery’s take, produced by Frank Rogers, is a seamless extension of the song’s legacy and invites everyone to huddle around the fireplace surrounded by friends and family. 

“I love Christmas music and sing it throughout the year. For a long time, ‘White Christmas' has been one of my favorite Christmas songs. I especially love The Drifters’ version as well as Elvis’s version. I decided it was now time to do my own version. Hope everyone likes it!!”
