Favorite Christmas albums?

[Brie]

I have Amazon credit to burn and I love Christmas music.  Currently I'm listening to the Pentatonix one, which is pretty good.

What else do you like?

[spk926]

All time favorite is Amy Grant: Home for Christmas

I also have and like Michael Buble: Christmas

[waterchurch]

Bing Crosby and Martina McBride. I also like the Josh Groban album.

[namasteak]

Hanson's Christmas album is still my favorite!

[cmarie11]

Josh Groban, Third Day.

[bdubs419]

I like the Darius Rucker and Blake Shelton Christmas albums (but I am a country music lover).

[pugz]

Kelly Clarkson

[patbutcher]

Michael buble

[DarcyLongfellow]

The Barenaked Ladies Christmas album (Barenaked for the Holidays) is really, really good. And it has the recording of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings with the Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan which is quite possibly one of the prettiest versions I've ever heard.

Do you want someone singing traditional Christmas songs or something were the artist has created new songs?

[simpsongal]

Charlie Brown Christmas
Bing Crosby "Merry Christmas"
Ray Charles
Mariah Carey Christmas
Ella Fitzgerald
(the Elf soundtrack is pretty good)
Elvis Christmas
Mormon Tabernacle Choir
ETA: Handel's Messiah

[MadamePresident]

Andrew Peterson Behold the Lamb of God. I listen to it year round, and have travelled to Nashville several times to see it performed live.

Christmas Portrait by the Carpenters

My mom played that a lot when we were growing up at the holidays.


I also love the N'Sync Christmas CD

[jeaniebueller]

I don't know about a whole album, but I love Whitney Houston's version of "do you hear what I hear" and Josh Groban's version of "o holy night."

[luckyno7]

Glee, I actually really like Clay Aikens, Faith Hill....don't judge...98 degrees.

[glitzy07]

Nsync, hands down. So many good original songs!

Followed by Amy Grant.

[annieh22]

Boston pops
Michael buble
Harry connick Jr.
Amy grant

[halfpint]

I really like the Barenaked Ladies one.
Andrews Sisters is great for that "Christmas Traditions" sound, I love it. Appearances from Bing and Danny Kaye.
Mariah Carey
Amy Grant
Harry Connick Jr (I believe he has two, both great)
Michael Buble
Charlie Brown Christmas/Vince Guaraldi Trio
Barbra Streisand - love that woman

[niq]

msniq still loves the Phil Spector Album. It used to annoy me but it's grown on me after nine Christmases.

I tend to listen to generic classical/church stuff. Mostly choirs rather than orchestral. An Exception for Heavy Heavy Lip's version of Mr. Grinch, which was played to death on the alternative station growing up. We loved it.


And sometimes for the lulz, this:

Aww, @mrswindycity, I love the Carpenters! My parents used to play their albums all the time when I was a kid.

James Taylor and Amy Grant are favorites as well. I am an old soul when it comes to Christmas music.

[Deleted]

I am now listening to "Ellen's The Only Holiday Album You'll Ever Need".

[felicity]

I've actually been listening to the Pentatonix Pandora Christmas station and they mix in Glee and Straight No Chaser a lot, and both are good.
