WHITE CHRISTMAS Dazzles on 4K UHD Blu-ray November 5th!

Today marks the 70th anniversary of one of the most beloved Christmas movies ever made—Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS—and Paramount Home Entertainment is celebrating the milestone by releasing the fan-favorite film for the first time ever on 4K Ultra HD on November 5, 2024.

 

A dazzling and delightful holiday treat, Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS stars Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen in a joyous showbiz story filled with song and dance and featuring the timeless music and lyrics of legendary composer and songwriter Irving Berlin whose artistry defined American popular songs for much of the 20th century.

Irving Berlin’s WHITE CHRISTMAS premiered on October 14, 1954, and was the first film to be released in Paramount’s innovative widescreen format, VistaVision.  Developed in the 1950s, VistaVistion played a pivotal role in shaping the future of cinematic technology and laid the groundwork for IMAX, which also utilizes a horizontal film format.
