Quick Scoop

  • Frank Loesser originally wrote the song as a playful duet for himself and his wife, Lynn Garland, to perform at parties in New York.
  • It became widely known after being featured in the 1949 film Neptune’s Daughter , which helped cement its status as a winter and Christmas-season standard.
  • Although the lyrics never mention Christmas, its wintry theme and long recording history—early versions included Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Jordan and Dean Martin & Marilyn Maxwell—turned it into a seasonal classic.
