“Around the Christmas Tree” is a beloved Christmas song with a rich history. The melody was originally composed by German composer Eduard Kremser in 1853. The lyrics, written in German, were added later and have been adapted into various languages over the years.
The song’s popularity soared in the United States during the early 20th century, particularly after Bing Crosby’s 1949 recording. It has since become a staple of Christmas music, enjoyed by millions around the world.
