Did the Beatles ever sing White Christmas?

Answer 1

Yes. It was on YouTube entitled 'Beatles White Christmas Rare' until two years ago when it was taken down from YouTube; presumably to keep it rare. An Austrian tribute version is present on YouTube (not the real version). Check the link under the related links section. Don't be taken in by this it's not the real version. Having heard the real thing what separates it from the Austrian version or any other (making it distinctly The Beatles) is Lennon's vocals on the record. Lennons distinct gravelly tone has been captured. No impersonator could get it so accurate. They based the guitar line rather lazily on 'ticket to ride'. The solo is so simular to 'ticket to ride' note by note it's parallel (it's the same). It was absolutely brilliant in the way that it captured the joy of Christmas. In my eyes they should have done more Christmas songs... it's a shame its too late now. Even so Mccartneys (Wonderful Christmas Time) and Lennons (Xmas War is over) Christmas songs from their solo careers were outstanding.

Answer 2

This was not performed or recorded by the Beatles, but by Paul McCartney. The song is called "Wonderful Christmastime" and was released as a single in 1979, reaching #6 in the UK singles chart. It did not chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, but has since been a perennial favorite of radio stations at Christmas. It appears as a bonus track on the Wings' Back To The Egg CD reissue.
