"Marshmallow World" (sometimes called "A Marshmallow World" or "It's a Marshmallow World") is a popular Christmas song that was written in 1949 by Carl Sigman (lyrics) and Peter DeRose (music). Although it has been recorded by many artists, it was first a hit for Bing Crosby (backed by The Lee Gordon Singers and the Sonny Burke Orchestra). Crosby's version (recorded in 1950) peaked at number 24 on the pop singles chart in January 1951. Ray Anthony also recorded a version of the song in 1950, as did Vaughn Monroe and his Orchestra. Another popular version was recorded by Vic Damone in 1951.
