The most widely recognised Christmas song, Jingle Bells, was originally written as a Thanksgiving song.
As per historians, the song, written by James Lord Pierpont in 1850, may have first been performed at a Thanksgiving church service. The song was initially published under the title, One Horse Open Sleigh, with the lyrics and melody depicting a sleigh ride, a common winter activity during the Thanksgiving season. In fact, the song is believed to be inspired by the sleigh races in Medford, Massachusetts, a town about eight kilometres outside of Boston.

While the definitive birthplace of the song, disputed between Medford and Savannah, remains unclear, it did indeed take decades for Jingle Bells to become a Christmas classic.

It may have been first introduced for the Thanksgiving holiday, but the modern renditions continue to be a Christmas classic, heard until the New Year.
