Trying to identify version of "White Christmas"

Hi

Can anyone out there help settle an argument? I'm trying to identify a version of the song White Christmas, its not the famous Bing Crosby version (my wife thinks it is, but its definitely not).
I've tried listening to all the versions on youtube but can't find it among them.
Basically you can hear it in the background of a video I shot on my phone last christmas. I've cut together all the bits from that video where no one is talking (you can hear the baby in the background a little though) and uploaded here:

If anyone knows what version this is, I'll be really greatful and you'll be helping me win a pathetic little victory in one of those pointless arguments that happen sometimes.

thanks

It's almost certainly from the 40's/50's given the arrangement and general period-gloss that is built in. I'll google around and see what I can track down, but in the meantime, whoever was trying to sing along wasn't in key, didn't have the words, and kinda sounded like a toddler.

You want want to cut them off at the Holidays this year.
