The film stars Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen, and the plot is loosely based on the 1942 film, Holiday Inn.

In the following clip, Bing Crosby’s character has invited veterans of the 151st Division to come to Vermont on Christmas Eve to surprise their former General.

The video’s YouTube description states, “This Christmas classic shows that no matter how important everybody thinks we are or were, we need a reminder that we REALLY made a difference.”
