Best Answer

He never gave an answer to what inspired him to write the classic Christmas song. Irving Berlin was often away from home and family in the East. In 1937 a producer friend sent him a short video of his family waving to him from in front of the family home on a snowy winter day. That could have triggered an idea. He is also said to have possibly been influenced by Robert Frost's poem Stopping by Woods On A Snowy Evening or by Stephen Foster's Home Songs.
