Well you have a few options on this one:
Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Rosemary Clooney, and if I'm not mistaken that particular version included Bing Crosby and Sammy DAvis Jr. and possible Dean Martin.

Edited to add:
After a search on the net, it seems a gentleman by the name of Irving Berlin wrote the original sitting by a pool in Arizona, and Frank Sinatra, Liza Minelli and Sammy Davis Jr. all sang the song in 1988, and Bob Hope was involved in an impromptu singing of the song at the resort as well.

I did not cheat on this one, I just grabbed my christmas CD. I knew the singers but didn't know that Irving Berlin wrote it.
