Merry Christmas is a compilation album by Bing Crosby that was released in 1945 on Decca Records. It has remained in print through the vinyl, CD, and downloadable file eras, currently as the disc and digital album White Christmas on MCA Records, a part of the Universal Music Group, ( reissued in June 1995 ) and currently on vinyl as Merry Christmas on Geffen Records (re-issued in September 2014). It includes Crosby's signature song "White Christmas", the best-selling single of all time with estimated sales of over 50 million copies worldwide. The album was certified 4× Platinum by RIAA for selling over 4 million copies in United States. The original 1945 release and subsequent re-releases and re-packages spent a total of 39 weeks at no. 1 on the Billboard pop albums chart.

Best known as the 'Voice of Christmas', Bing Crosby’s classic album Merry Christmas features the best-selling single of all time, Irving Berlin’s composition “White Christmas” which is synonymous with both the holiday and the legendary crooner. The storied history of this album goes back to the ‘40s and the cover and content here represent the original 1955 version, which evolved from the period’s 78 rpm records. Also included is Crosby’s other seasonal best-seller, “Silent Night” as well as favorites like "I'll Be Home For Christmas," "Jingle Bells," "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town," "Silver Bells," "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas" and the Hawaiian themed "Mele Kalikimaka.
