Description

Eamonn Holmes introduces this humorous festive piece for Good Evening Ulster on UTV. Highlighting that 'White Christmas' is the most famous Christmas song of all, he goes out onto the streets of Belfast getting the public to sing a line each, which was then edited together into a unique rendition. 

Perhaps unfortunately, the UTV celebrities also get in on the act, with presenters such as Gerry Kelly and Jackie Fullerton contributing. Barry McGuigan, decked out in a Santa suit, asks if the referee can stop them from further punishment.
