We Need a Little Christmas is a Christmas album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released by Unison Music in 1995.
 It gives an adult contemporary treatment to songs that Williams had previously recorded for 1963's "The Andy Williams Christmas Album" ("Away In A Manger", "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)", "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year", "Silent Night"), 1965's "Merry Christmas" ("Mary's Little Boy Child"), 1974's "Christmas Present" ("Angels We Have Heard On High", "Hark!
 The Herald Angels Sing", "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day", "What Child Is This"), and 1990's "I Still Believe in Santa Claus" ("I'll Be Home for Christmas") and includes three songs that Williams had not recorded before.
 In a brief note on the back of the jewel case Williams writes, "These all-new recordings feature fresh, innovative arrangements of some of my favorite carols.
 I felt like I was singing them for the very first time."
"Away in a Manger" is a Christmas carol first published in the late nineteenth century and used widely throughout the English-speaking world.
 In Britain, it is one of the most popular carols; a 1996 Gallup Poll ranked it joint second.
 Although it was long claimed to be the work of German religious reformer Martin Luther, the carol is now thought to be wholly American in origin.
Rock This Christmas is the second Christmas album, and ninth album overall, by Christian pop group Jump5.
 It was released on November 22, 2005.
 It contains seven original songs, three traditional Christmas carols, and the Christian hymn Amazing Grace.
 "Rock This Christmas" is the first Jump5 album to be released independently by the group through Nevaeh Records instead of Sparrow Records.
I Still Believe in Santa Claus is a Christmas album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released by Curb Records in 1990.
 It was his fourth solo album of Christmas music, following "The Andy Williams Christmas Album" (1963), "Merry Christmas" (1965) and "Christmas Present" (1974).
 As with the 1965 LP, this album focuses exclusively on 20th-century compositions, including two new songs: "Christmas Needs Love to Be Christmas" and "My Christmas Vow (This Is My Promise)", the latter of which Williams describes in the liner notes as "a new lyric set to an old Hawaiian melody".
The Classic Christmas Album is a Christmas compilation album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released on October 7, 2014, by Columbia Records and includes two 1961 recordings that were previously unavailable: "Ol' Kris Kringle" and the original version of the title track from his 1969 Christmas album "Give Me Your Love for Christmas".
 Three other songs ("Christmas in the City of the Angels", "Sign of the Dove" and "The Very First Christmas Day") make their debut on compact disc as of this release, and two other non-album singles ("Christmas Is..." and "My Kind of Christmas") can be counted among the rarities here.
 The collection also includes a selection or two from several of Mathis's Christmas studio albums—"Sleigh Ride" from "Merry Christmas", "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from "Sounds of Christmas", "Calypso Noel" from "Give Me Your Love for Christmas", "The Christmas Waltz" and "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" from "Christmas Eve with Johnny Mathis", and "Home for the Holidays" from "Sending You a Little Christmas"—as well as his duet with Bette Midler from her 2006 holiday album "Cool Yule", which was a medley of "Winter Wonderland" and "Let It Snow!

Christmas Present is a Christmas album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in October 1974 by Columbia Records and, apart from the title track, focused strictly on traditional carols.
 While his previous holiday LPs were released during the run of his variety series, which ended in 1971, this album was promoted the December following its release through one of his many Christmas specials.
 An article titled "MOR Artists Are Ailing" in "Billboard" magazine's November 23, 1974, issue describes the hopes that the record company had for the album: "Columbia is releasing Andy Williams' newest LP, 'Christmas Present,' with considerable advance orders and expects it to become a holiday classic to continue the string of album winners for the artist."
And Winter Came... is the seventh studio album from the Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released on 10 November 2008 by Warner Music internationally and 11 November 2008 by Reprise Records in the United States.
 After recording some new Christmas songs for her fourth extended play, "" (2006), Enya proceeded to write and record a Christmas album of traditional carols and original Christmas songs, but the idea was changed to an album of songs with a Christmas or winter theme.
 It was recorded in Ireland with her longtime collaborators, arranger and producer Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan.
The Christmas Album is the fifth Christmas album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in October 2002 by Columbia Records and included his first recordings of three traditional carols ("Joy To The World", "Away in a Manger", "O Little Town of Bethlehem"), three new songs ("Heavenly Peace", "A Christmas Love Song", "Merry Christmas"), and a handful of 20th-century offerings.

Acoustic Christmas Carols – Cowboy Christmas II is the twenty-second album by American singer-songwriter Michael Martin Murphey and his second album of Christmas music.
 Recorded at St. James Episcopal Church in Taos, New Mexico, the church Murphey attended at the time, the album consists of carols from the nineteenth century or earlier played on acoustic instruments, among them "Silent Night" and "Joy to the World".
 Murphey's arrangements feature his own finger-picked guitar, accompanied by John McEuen on banjo or mandolin, or Paul Sadler on hammer dulcimer.
 Murphey's sons, Ryan and Brennan, play blues guitar licks on "Go Tell It on the Mountain", and his daughter, Laura, sings a duet with her father on "Silent Night".
 This is a "spare and reverent Christmas album, appropriate for a rustic celebration in a Western church."
