White Christmas Holiday Movie Cake Goof

Blow out those candles!

White Christmas is my all-time favorite holiday film. I’ve watched it every year for many years. The movie was released in 1954 and I believe it can stand up against any new movie; Hallmark or otherwise, as one of the greatest.

In filmmaking, a goof is a mistake made during film production that finds its way into the final released picture. Depending upon the film and the actual scene, the goof may have different effects: a loss in realism, an annoyance, or it could just be funny. It is often a type of continuity error. Goofs are also known as "bloopers" or "mistakes".

Though I have enjoyed White Christmas over and over and over again, I’ve never noticed this ‘goof’. It’s about the cake at the end of the movie. (The tearjerker part!)

The General blows out the candles on his cake after the surprise by Wallace & Davis. During the song "White Christmas", as they pan back to the General's table all of the candles are lit again!

Look for this goof this festive season!

Happy Christmas Everyone!

Peace Love Create Art and Cake,
