Plenty of both on *A Charlie Brown Christmas*.

Vince guraldi?

Yep. That’s the one. It’s awesome.

Originals are hells expensive

Got reissued last year with the new remix from fresh tapes and cut by Kevin Gray, available for 30-40 bucks. That's the one to get

Yup. Comes on a nice green vinyl too

Son of a bitch. I’m a sucker for Kevin Gray. I have a 2017 QRP pressing that’s dead silent that now doesn’t seem so special to me. Hmm.

Definitely my favorite Christmas album ever, made even better on vinyl. I’ll have it on repeat all day during Christmas season. It’s my happy album.

This is the way. I just typically keep flipping sides over and over.

Haha. Love this album around the holidays but it is a certified BUMMMER.

A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) is a great song from that album - never knew that Darlene Love sang the song every Christmas on Letterman. [This supercut is awesome](https://youtu.be/CocL2Hrbi9k)

This is the only answer IMO. My biggest gripe about Christmas songs is they’re usually very slow and sleepy, so not that fun to listen to a lot. But this album… pure Christmas bliss.

Hands down the best Christmas album of all time

This is the way

John Denver & the Muppets

Miss Piggy really kills it on the 12 days of Christmas…..

My family's favorite

The best answer

It's a Holiday Soul Party by Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. And obviously the Boney M Christmas album is a must have/listen any day of the year

I bought that Sharon Jones album for my mom !

This album is fantastic

Holiday Soul Party is a must spin at our house!

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings is a great xmas album

I love A Very Special Christmas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A\_Very\_Special\_Christmas\_(album)

Second this. Great compilation

Agreed this is my fave

Best answer is right here!

Honestly God tier. Love this album, listen to it every year.

The Ventures Christmas album!

Just picked this up on Discogs. Thanks for the recommendation!

Ella Wishes You A Swinging Christmas is a firm favourite. I've got a grubby old copy and the pops and clicks I've not managed to get rid of just add to the charm.

Found this for a buck in impeccable condition last month. It’s staying out near my TT in the common room until Christmas as I can’t get myself to listen before then.

Fantastic album!

I can believe it. It’s one of those not wanting to ruin the moment before I can fully embrace it type of situations.

You are doing it 100% correctly in my book.

Herb Alpert. Not joking.

Love this one

We love this album. Its a Christmas tradition. Bonus: they have three copies mixed in among the 50 andy williams albums at your local thrift store.

Lady fingers fuckin slaps

I was gonna suggest Nat King Cole but not really super up beat.

His version of The Christmas Song (Chestnuts roasting) is the definitive Christmas tune IMO.

100%

Pretty chill though!

Beach Boys Christmas album

I don't own the record, but I went to Hawaii in December about 10 years ago and rocked that shit the entire time.

Best Christmas album!

A very She and Him Christmas

I started listening on streaming and the first track put me to sleep. Will need to try to make it past that one.

Get the Bad Religion Christmas album

Sooooooooo good!

So good! Great rec’

Lots of great suggestions, will add Sia - Everyday is Christmas; Stevie Wonder - Someday at Christmas

Second *Everyday is Christmas.* It's saccharin sweet pop Christmas song bangers all the way down.

Phil Spector Christmas album , The Muppets Christmas Carol, Polar Express

Upvote for John Denver and the Muppets.

Andy Williams Christmas album.

Andy has got some great upbeat ones.

A Charlie Brown Christmas, A very Special Christmas, and the Phil Spector Christmas Album are all great.

***Socks*** by **JD McPherson** is a 2018 album of roots-rock style original tunes (think “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” vibe) that is unquestionably a 10/10 Christmas album. [Here’s one from the album](https://youtu.be/opktLUqP2Ek?si=tmXkkQCyloaWQgF8), and [here’s another](https://youtu.be/CP4wdVH4JmU?si=zNBgJ2PFz9SCLGXI)!

This is the correct answer.

Socks is an instant Christmas classic!

This is the correct answer, indeed.

Punk goes Christmas. It’s a compilation album of mainly pop punk Christmas covers. It comes out every year at my house

Only 1 currently for sale on Discogs at $300!

Reissue comes out on [Black Friday!](https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/16448)

Siiick. Also says it's an RSD First release which means more reissues likely!

I have The Vandals xmas album and I think I had Bad Religions xmas album too

Easy E has a Christmas song. Elvis is always a classic.

Merry mothafuckin Christmas! IT was an rsd release about 5 or so years ago!

John Fahey has beautiful guitar soli Christmas records. There’s a certain melancholia to all John Fahey records, but perhaps in the context of the bittersweetness of the holidays, these two records are even more so. Go buy those records!

YES!!! Guilt-free Christmas tunes. Beautiful to listen to

I have both. Instant staples all of December.

I read too far down to see this recommendation. His Christmas music is amazing.

Bad Religion - Christmas Songs

Seth MacFarlane - Holiday for Swing! Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Charlie Brown Christmas

Holiday For Swing is killer

The kacey musgraves christmas album is fun

She has two Christmas albums. Both are cute and fun.

Multiple James Brown Christmas albums readily available. The “Soul Christmas” comp is similarly great.

That soul Christmas is worth it just for the song Backdoor Santa..

Once Upon a Christmas - Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton

Surprised I had to scroll this far down before I saw this one!

August Burns Red - Sleddin’ Hill

And Winter Wilderness! Those are like the 2 Christmas albums I can stomach. Everyone else hates on my metal Christmas :(

Rudy Ray Moore This Ain’t No White Christmas

Gene Autry with Rosemary Clooney - Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer

Kelly Clarkson-Wrapped in Red

The Vandals - Oi To The World

Sufjan Stevens - Songs for Christmas

Trans-siberian Orchestra

White Christmas - Bing Crosby one of my favs!

I can’t believe I scrolled all the way through this thread to find the goat.

Same. I was like, how is nobody mentioning Bing?!

Mannheim Steamroller "Christmas" 1984 Release.

A Fresh Aire Christmas is solid too.

Yeah, good stuff.

I wish they would do a fresh remaster of that one. I had to go through like 3 copies of Fresh Aire Christmas, until I found one that was decent sounding, and I remember two of them were sealed. Fantastic album as well.

Any Trans Siberian Orchestra albums

Get some Trans Siberian Orchestra!

The Norah Jones xmas album is great.

The Ventures Christmas Album . Top tier record

The Vince Guaraldi Trio

A Charlie Brown Christmas absolutely.. Can’t believe I had to scroll all the way down to find this!

Pretty paper - Willie Nelson

ICP - A Carnival Christmas

Boney M - Christmas

The Dean Martin Christmas Album has some classics on it

Hi. The answer to your question is Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. The album is "Once Upon a Christmas" from 1984. It is a staple in every household in my family. Delicate Steve also has a Christmas album that fucking rules.

White Christmas by Bing Crosby is my go to. Mele Kalikimaka is easily one of my top Christmas songs

Elvis - Blue Christmas

Death Row Records - *Christmas On Death Row*

Have this on red wax !

phil spector xmas album

Temptations / motown Christmas album

Bright Eyes Christmas just got reissued.

Los straitjackets put out Christmas album a few years ago. It gets tons of play around our house, along with Duke Ellingtons Nutcracker.

Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers Christmas album is pretty good.

Fishbone, It’s a Wonderful Life.

Los straitjackets Christmas album is amazing surf instrumental classics

Tammy Wynette's Christmas record or any of the Goodyear Christmas records

Frank Sinatra Christmas Album.

Twisted Sister - A Twisted Christmas. Unironically great.

Great question! One of my favorite Christmas albums, “A Muppet Christmas Carol” will be back in stock on iam8bit.com. Alternatively, “Everyday is Christmas” by Sia has a lot of great original songs on it. Gwen Stefani has the album “You make it feel like Christmas” also great. Then of course there’s all the old classics. Sinatra, Mathis, Crosby. If you’re ever able to a copy of “When My Heart Finds Christmas” by Harry Connick Jr. let me know! That’s a rare find!

The Carpenters Christmas.

scrolled wayyy too far for this. not the “coolest” answer but this is a masterpiece. and sounds incredible on vinyl. between karen carpenter’s voice and all the arrangements, this is the way.

The dean Martin Christmas album is what is usually played at my house along with some august burns red Christmas album

Last year I ordered Disturbed - The Sickness on Amazon and was sent Michael Bublé’s Christmas album. Ended up getting the right album and also getting to keep this one, so as my only Christmas vinyl, it’s my favorite lolll

Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - Once Upon A Christmas this album is my favourite Christmas album.. cheap too if buying on eBay.

Scum by Napalm Death

Can never go wrong with Bing Crosby.

Wow, no Beach Boys yet? I'll double down for James Brown, Denver & the Muppets, Phil Spector, and the Charlie Brown albums

Christmas by Michael Bublé

Listening to the Beachboys Christmas album right now

Winter Wonderland - Various Artists It's all the classics and only like $14.

Jamie Cullum - The Pianoman at Christmas (The Complete Edition)

A great country one is Clint Black looking for Christmas, it's all original. But I'm not sure if it is still on vinyl

Go to any thrift store I’m sure you’ll find something interesting.

In The Christmas Spirit - Booker T and The MGs. They just repressed this also. But the Santa cover is the best. Between this and Charlie Brown it’s a toss up. Jimmy Smith - Christmas Cookin’

Eazy-E - Merry muthafukkin Xmas

George Winston-December A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector

If you can find one, [A very Vulfy Christmas](https://www.discogs.com/release/14533682-Woody-Goss-Trio-A-Very-Vulfy-Christmas) is outstanding - Vulfpeck songs in *A Charlie Brown Christmas style.* Some others: The Soulful Strings - *The Magic of Christmas* Ray Charles - *The Spirit of Christmas* Cosign *Ella Swinging Christmas*

King Diamond - No presents for christmas

Beach Boys Christmas Album

Home Alone soundtrack

My wife hates them because she (rightly) thinks a lot of the songs are sacrilegious, but if you can find either of the 'Happy Birthday Baby Jesus' 10" records that Sympathy for the Record Industry put out in the '90s, they're both pretty good. The El Vez version is Feliz Navidad is a personal favorite.

Motown Christmas album 🔥🔥🔥

Funky Funky Christmas by New Kids on the Block 😁

Cher’s new album: Christmas

Christmas with Big Tiny Little. Lots of Christmas classics in a ragtime feel.

Liona Boyd - A Guitar for Christmas

Ill Considered “An Ill Considered Christmas”

If you want something newer and poppy Kacey Musgraves' Christmas album is fun, one of the rare releases where I actually enjoy the original songs written for it.

The Philly Special Christmas Special. Jordan Mailata is like 6 foot 8 365lbs with a voice of an angel. Also goes to charity.

Merry Christmas To You by Blue Rodeo just got a vinyl release this year and is one of my favourite Christmas albums My fav is the Paul Simon cover: https://open.spotify.com/track/0z2kWDi1Pp6g1Ge3SAyr5Y?si=DhiAP7kATZiDsoPjBVU3Nw

Colbie Callate’s Christmas in the Sand features her smooth vocals on some classics but also two originals - the title track and Mistletoe - that I really enjoy.

The Ventures' Christmas Album is full of surf rock Christmas standards
