Yesterday I wound up on a doo-wop jag. So today, I thought I'd bring good cheer and share 10 vocal groups harmonizing holiday tunes [pictured above, the Larks]:

Here are the Mills Brothers singing I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm (1949)...

Here are the Drifters singing White Christmas (1955)...

Here are the Shells singing It's a Happy Holiday (1962)...

Here's Frankie Lymon singing It's Christmas Once Again(1957)...

Here are the Moonglows singing Hey Santa Claus (1953)...

Here are Big Dee Irwin and Little Eva singing the Christmas Song (1963)...

Here are the Falcons singing Can This Be Christmas (1957)...

Here are the Larks singing All I Want for Christmas(1951)...

Here are the Ronettes singing Sleigh Ride (1963)...

And here are the Orioles singing What Are You Doing New Year's Eve (1949)...
