Song of the Day: Christmas in New York, words and music by Gary Baker, Greg Barnhill, and Walt Aldridge, was recorded by the Backstreet Boys for their 2022 album, “A Very Backstreet Christmas.” The video mixes live action and claymation—harking back to such holiday classics as “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” which celebrated its sixtieth anniversary on December 6, 2024. Indeed, the video is dedicated to the memory of Jules Bass of Rankin/Bass, which produced so many of those wonderful stop-motion Christmas specials. Check out this sweet paean to NYC at Christmas time [YouTube link].
