White Christmas
Frosted holiday wish
A White Christmas is Christmas Day with snow on the ground, or snowfall on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day itself.
The phrase evokes nostalgic, idealized holiday imagery—sleigh rides, snowmen, frosted windows.
Irving Berlin's 1942 song made the phrase iconic: I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
In warmer climates, a white Christmas remains a romantic notion rather than an expectation.
