The actual animation is exclusive to Facebook Watch as of now along with a Nat King Cole The Christmas Song one.

Re: Winter Wonderland Animated Music Video to Premiere Tomorrow
Excuse me, I haven't watched this video, before posting the link (it was early in the morning and I was in a hurry, I think you can understand me).
And thanks for information, ModernBingFan0377!
But don't you agree that the music and the song are amazing?
I think it really is!))))

Now it won't be a mistake to say that soon Bing's "Mele Kalikimaka" (animated video) will be on youtube.)))

I'm glad that people from vevo keep making such videos.

Re: Winter Wonderland Animated Music Video to Premiere Tomorrow
Another nice video. It's good, I think, to see Bing Crosby involved in this trend of recent years.

Boy it's nice to see Bing's great Christmas songs finally represented in a video format. I've really liked every one I've seen except that awful Wokeified White Christmas video. They sure ruined a perfect opportunity to turn Bing's signature Christmas song into a thing of beauty instead of an overboard politically correct piece of nonsense. I hope they scrap that one and re-do White Christmas again this time doing it right, maybe even with my favorite version of Bing's White Christmas the 1955 recording made for the Christmas Eve "Around The World" broadcasts. But all of the rest have been really nice.
I am actually fine with the White Christmas one outside of some of the elements, although you ever notice in that animation that the hand positions and mouth positions of Bing seem tailored for a pipe? Personally the "The Little Drummer Boy" one is somewhat disappointing to me in some aspects, as it doesn't really fit the song too much in my opinion, however the different references to Bing in it are unrivaled by any of the other animations.

Re: Winter Wonderland Animated Music Video to Premiere Tomorrow
Nice videos. I somehow missed last year's offerings so checked them all out this morning. Really nice work, a bit more creative than some of these animation jobs I've seen for "legacy" music. The Winter Wonderland one was quite clever and I thought I'll be Home For Christmas was effective.
White Christmas was surprisingly good I thought, with a willingness to put the song in a wartime context that I'm sure newer listeners may not be familiar with.
The only one that left me a bit cold was Drummer Boy, but I've also never been particularly fond of that song either (any version, not just Bing's). All in all, very nice efforts though.
