     Tell Me a Story featuring Hilary Duff was the most played Christmas song/video in 2002 on the Disney channel. I still remember wrapping up my movie HONEY in Toronto and heading straight to the airport to film this in Montreal but then hopping on another flight back to the states to my concert after we finished this music video all in the same day! Only if they had social media in those days, Lil Romeo had to be the coolest 12 old ever ha. You remember this? #happyholidays #merrychristmas #hilary

   • “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” by Darlene Love. One of the season’s most beloved songs bombed on impact for a tragic reason. The kickoff single from the later-to-be classic album A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector had the unfortunate fate to be released on the same day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
   • “Christmas Time Is Here” by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. The first Peanuts-related TV special, A Charlie Brown Christmas, which made its debut in 1965, has earned as much love for its music as for its characters and script.
   • “All I Want for Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey. Nearly every song that’s considered a holiday classic was written at least 40 years ago. In 1994, however, Carey cooked up a piece that stands with the best of them.
   • “White Christmas” by Bing Crosby. Not only is “White Christmas” the biggest-selling holiday track of all time, it’s estimated by Guinness World Records to be the biggest-selling song ever.
