"Happy Holiday" (sometimes performed as "Happy Holidays") is a popular song composed by Irving Berlin in 1942.
The song was first performed by Bing Crosby in the 1942 film Holiday Inn. In the context of the film, the song refers to holidays in general; however, it has come to be associated most commonly with the Christmas season (presumably due to its context).
The song has been recorded by numerous artists over the years, including Perry Como, Percy Faith, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, Peggy Lee, Barry Manilow, Jo Stafford, and Andy Williams (the latter in a medley with Kay Thompson's composition "The Holiday Season", and Manilow's version in a medley with "White Christmas").
