What is your favorite classic Christmas movie? Off the top of my head, I can name about 10 of them that I absolutely love. But there are a select few that are always on my list to watch every year. One in particular is the all-time classic “White Christmas.” And I know I am not the only one who dreams of having a white Christmas in the town of Pine Tree, Vermont - the fictional town of the classic 1954 holiday movie. Each year, thousands of people visit the small town - at least in their imaginations - for the spirit it brings to the holiday season. Of course, you won't find it on any map. The town is as make-believe as Sesame Street. But that doesn’t stop us from bringing the town to life on our big-screen TVs and laptops in our state as well as all over the country.

For decades, viewers have been tuning in to "White Christmas" as one of their tried-and-true holiday traditions. The heart-warming romantic musical comedy is set in the fictional town of Pine Tree, but not a single frame of the movie was shot in Vermont. Most of the popular movie was filmed on the sound stages at Paramount Studios with a few sections filmed at locations in Southern California. While the film may have been shot on the West Coast, it certainly captures the quaint New England charm of small-town Vermont.

"White Christmas" was the biggest box office hit of the year when it was released in 1954. The feel-good message with a Hollywood happy ending touched the souls of many. And now more than six decades later, children and adults alike dream of snow for the holidays. It's no surprise that I can hear the classic song that shares the name with the movie in my head right now, and it truly warms my heart.

The beloved Columbia Inn and its hometown of Pine Tree may not be real, but they are perhaps the most visited places during the holidays. Families gather together to enjoy the timeless snapshots of the essence of Vermont captured in this film.
