Was the film white christmas originally in black and white?

No, White Christmas released in 1954 was a Technicolor musical starring Bing Crosby & Danny Kaye.

The film is notable as being the first to be produced and released in VistaVision, a wide-screen process developed by Paramount that entailed using twice the surface area of standard 35mm film. This large-area negative was used to yield finer-grained standard-sized 35 mm film prints.

It may not have raked in as much money as How the Grinch Stole Christmas or generated as much love-and-hate as Love Actually, but White Christmas remains one of the most popular holiday movies of all time.
