Beach Boys' Christmas Album is the Christmas Album released in 1964. Containing five original songs and seven standards, the album proved to be a long-running success during subsequent Christmas seasons, initially reaching #6 in the US album chart in its year of release and eventually going gold. Christmas Day is noteworthy for being the first Beach Boys song to feature a lead vocal from Al Jardine.

This is the last Christmas album for this year, so we go back to our normal activities...

Neil Diamond - The Christmas Album Vol. 2

Neil Diamond's first Christmas album was a million-seller, but even so, it seemed a little bit soon to be releasing another one only two years later in 1994. Not that it much matters which Christmas season you release a Christmas album in. Working again with producer Peter Asher, Diamond addressed 15 seasonal songs that hadn't made it onto the first album, sometimes coming up with unusual arrangements, such as a barbershop quartet version of a medley of Deck The Halls/We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a reggae version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer complete with exhortations to children everywhere. But, especially toward the end of the album, Diamond took a more traditional approach, singing some of the more religious Christmas songs with an orchestra and chorus.

Neil Diamond - The Christmas Album

Neil Diamond's The Christmas Album were released in 1992. He plays it relatively straight on Silent Night and The Christmas Song, but really lets loose on a version of White Christmas that recalls the doo-wop of his teen years in the 1950s. He even expands his palette to include a choir-accompanied take on John Lennon's classic Happy Christmas.
