When I confessed to a friend that I had never seen the movie White Christmas (with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen), she insisted that I make plans to see it this Christmas season. Well, it’s already one of my favorites. There are so many great White Christmas movie quotes that I’ve collected several for you here. If you’re a die-hard fan of this Christmas classic (or on your way to being one) then you’ll instantly be taken to the scene of each of these memorable lines. Feel free to share these as your Facebook or Twitter status.
If you’re like me and you’ve never seen it, you can watch White Christmas on Amazon Instant Video for less than $5. This movie has romance, comedy, music, dancing, and even drama–the whole package! Plus, it’s something that our whole family can watch together. (Although it is a little long, and your younger kids may fall asleep before the end!)

I Love the movie White Christmas, and these quotes are great… I wanted to share another one with you. “If you’re worried and you can’t sleep, count your blessings instead of sheep. Then you’ll fall asleep counting your blessings.” – Bing Crosby
One of my faves is, “In some ways, you’re far superior to my cocker spaniel.”–Phil
I just saw this movie for the first time last night and imagine my surprise when my grandpa’s favorite saying came out of Bing Crosby’s mouth! I had no idea it was from this movie! It made me miss him but also smile, imagining him watching the movie. And of course laugh, because of the quote!
“Surely you know everybody’s got a little bit of larceny in them.”
There’s alwsys a slip up during a change of command; the men get a little loose. I know I am leaving them in good hands.
(General Waverly)
The screenplay for “White Christmas” is filled with so many great lines. But I think my favorite is toward the end, when Betty (Rosemary Clooney) comes back from New York to be in the show. She walks into the inn and Emma (Mary Wickes), the housekeeper, who has known Betty for all of about four days, flings her arms wide open and cries:
“Welcome home, Betty!”
I think it’s hilarious.
I loved that movie. I remember that day was my birthday an my uncle bought us a ticket to the movie. Loved it!
Best part is when Bob is trying to get Betty to come back to the Inn and he says something to the effect Phil and Judy thought we were in love, and Betty passes it off as silly and instead I’m thinking – silly it’s rediiculious you’re old enough to be my father….. And the actual truth being Being Crosby and Rosemary Clooney were the best of friends in real life!
When she said she couldn’t sleep…
He says .. come on, you’re not that old yet.
