Jingle Bells cover

"Jingle Bells" is a widely recognized American Christmas song composed by James Lord Pierpont. Originally published as "The One Horse Open Sleigh" in September 1857, the song initially had no Christmas connection but became associated with winter and holiday celebrations during the 1860s and 1870s. It appeared in various musical collections throughout the 1880s and was first recorded in 1889 on an Edison cylinder, marking what is believed to be the earliest Christmas recording, though this version is no longer extant. A surviving 1898 Edison Records version remains.
