Frank Sinatra’s “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” is one of his most recognizable holiday recordings, though it’s technically a winter song rather than a Christmas song.
Background
Written by: Sammy Cahn (lyrics) and Jule Styne (music) in 1945.
First recorded by: Vaughn Monroe in 1945, which became a big hit.
Sinatra’s version: Recorded in 1950 for Christmas Songs by Sinatra (later reissued on various holiday compilations).
Song Theme
The lyrics describe being snowed in with someone you love. Despite the harsh weather outside, the mood is warm and romantic, with lines like:
“Since we’ve no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.”
It’s less about the holiday itself and more about enjoying cozy moments during winter.
