31 Christmas Albums Perfect for the Whole Family

Dawn Denning said:  Ever since Wicked, Idina Menzel has been known for her beautiful voice. Her Holiday Wishes album is pretty mellow; the most upbeat is her duet with Michael Buble singing "Baby it's Cold Outside." She includes a lot of traditional Christmas songs with a nice addition of "When You Wish Upon a Star."

Dawn Denning said:  This man's voice is so perfect. I love listening to him sing anything. His Christmas album includes traditional and some non-traditional songs that are all pitch perfect. His version of "Ave Maria" is beautiful and "O Come All Ye Faithful" with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is on replay at our house.

Tim Ponisciak said:  For those of us who are looking for a Christmas album with a little bit of flair, check out this newer Neil Diamond collection. Diamond brings his signature voice and soft rock sounds to classic holiday hits like "Rudolph", "The First Noel" and "Away in a Manger." Nothing beats Diamond singing "Joy to the World" though!

Dawn Denning said:  The Andy Williams Christmas Album is so good because all the songs are fun. My kids love to sing along with the "Little Drummer Boy." They especially like the part that goes, "Pa rum pum pum pum" over and over. Williams also does a beautiful rendition of "Silent Night" at the end with a children's choir.

Yoli B said:  I can't get enough of "big band" music and Harry Connick Jr. fits the bill! This music selection is lively and transports you to Christmas in New Orleans! The musical arrangments are perfect and we all love to sing along while my daughter picks out all of the trombone sounds that she can hear!

Juan L. said:  The Piano Guys are a musical quartet that absolutely blew up on YouTube back in 2010. Their simple but passionate performances and clever videos gained them a legion of fans. "Christmas Together" is a great album for the whole family. The emotional tone of the album and the beautiful Christmas classics make this a wonderful choice when the holiday season comes around. It's the type of record that will make you and your kids want to hug each other in front of a warm fire.

Yoli B said:  The soulful sounds of Boyz II Men pair perfectly with your favorite Christmas tunes. Christmas Interpretations puts a different spin on your favorite classics and will surely win your family over...if it already hasn't!

Jennie Utsinger said:  This festive Christmas album for kids features original versions of Christmas songs by the original artists. While children will love singing along to familiar favorites such as Jingle Bells and Holly Jolly Christmas, parents will love hearing Ella Fitzgerald, Burl Ives, the Jackson 5, Brenda Lee, and others singing the tunes.

Tim Ponisciak said:  Ol' Blue Eyes has a number of great versions of some of the most well known holiday songs. These songs will be a hit with young and old alike! His version of "The Christmas Song" is a family favorite!

Dawn Denning said:  This album is full of traditional Christmas songs including "White Christmas," "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and the "First Noel." Every song they sing is beautiful and it is a family favorite around our house!

Dawn Denning said:  Sometimes I will buy a compilation CD if there is an artist I like singing on the album. This Christmas album was purchased because it featured Josh Groban singing "O Holy Night" and I play it on repeat. His voice is perfect and it is my favorite song on the album. Norah Jones and Michael Buble are also great, but Josh Groban makes this album worth it for me.

Vanessa M. said:  Jon and Valerie Guerra make a dynamic duo in this Christmas album that the whole family can chill to. The soothing harmonies and intricate guitar picking create a cozy atmosphere in your home during the holiday season. I love their creative mashup of The Way You Look Tonight and I'll Be Home For Christmas; it is almost a Christmas miracle!

Kelly R. said:  This is my sister's favorite Christmas album of all time, and I think she's on to something. The Hanson brothers put their refreshing spin on several classic favorites, along with three catchy original tunes that are right at home in any holiday playlist. The whole album is fun, festive, and well done - just as perfect for today's kids as it is for children of the 90s.
