Did you know Bing Crosby’s White Christmas is the best-selling single of all time?

Ethnomusicologist Dr Kirsten Zemke explores Christmas music through the years, from the songs our grandparents and their parents played, the global pop stars who keep reinventing them, to Christmas movies that revived forgotten classics.

Kirsten joins our media adviser Julianne Evans to explore how music connects generations and how the songs we like reflect who we are.
