Trivia: What classic holiday song was introduced in 1944’s “Meet Me in St. Louis”?

Jingle Bells
Winter Wonderland
Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Have Yourself a Merry Little X-Mas

The correct answer is Have Yourself a Merry Little X-Mas

So why is this answer correct? : Lyricist Hugh Martin originally penned “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” as a much sadder song, but the lyrics met resistance from “Meet Me in St. Louis” star Judy Garland. She claimed that if she performed the song as written, it would upset the 7-year-old actress playing “Tootie.” Although Martin initially refused to do any rewrites, he ultimately relented — and a holiday classic was born.
