Apple Music
The ‘50s saw the debut of many Christmas songs that have been loved ever since. Elvis, Chuck Berry, and Brenda Lee did the first seasonal rock 'n' roll; Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Bing Crosby introduced holiday pop standards. And kids went wild for novelty songs from a teenager named Gayle Peevey and a chipmunk named Alvin.
