"White Christmas" is a song written by Irving Berlin. The song is about reminiscing about an old-fashioned Christmas setting. The song was written by Berlin for the musical film Holiday Inn, released in 1942.
Lady Gaga covered the song for "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving", which was then released on the EP, A Very Gaga Holiday. All of her performances of the song feature an extra verse because the song is "too short".

A year later, SHOWstudio released on December 24, 2012, a film using the song with the following caption:

As a very special Christmas gift, SHOWstudio is proud to release a previously unseen festive film of Lady Gaga by Nick Knight and Ruth Hogben. The exclusive 'Monster Ball' footage presents an angelic vision of Gaga serenading us with 'White Christmas' while clad in an ethereal Alexander McQueen gown and Nasir Mazhar's otherworldly 'Orb' headpiece. Merry Christmas one and all!

Lady Gaga's Lyrics[]

The lyrics match the performance recorded for "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving"/"A Very Gaga Holiday".

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree tops glisten and children listen,
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write.

Oh, may your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.

[Spoken]:
So, as you can tell I'm very outgoing.
And a little bit shy,
But I've decided that this song is just too short.
It's such a beautiful Christmas song,
But it's only one verse,
So I added one extra one.
Here it goes.

I'm dreaming of a white snowman,
With a carrot nose and charcoal eyes.
Oh, and when he cries, I'm gonna tell him,
It's okay, because Santa's on his sleigh,
And he's on his way.

Oh, oh, oh, I, I'm dreaming, oh, oh, white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write.
Oh, may all your days and your Thanksgivings be so right.
And may all, all your Christmases be white.
