Favorite Christmas Albums

Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. (Tied with Halloween.) While I own quite a few Christmas albums, there are always the same few that I keep going back to. I wanted to share those favorites with you. Please let me know what some of your favorites are. :)

Honorable Mention: John Berry - O Holy Night 

I have always loved John Berry. My whole family has. I grew up listening to this album and it's one that just makes it feel like Christmas as soon as it starts. I love, love, love this one.












#5 Kelly Clarkson - Wrapped In Red

The only reason this is last on the list is because it's new. I have no doubt that I will fall more in love with this and it will become a regular listen every year. Her voice is amazing and I couldn't wait for her to put out a Christmas album. It does not disappoint. 










#4 *NSYNC - Home For Christmas

Cheesy? Maybe. Do I care? Nope! I absolutely love this album. I've always been a huge fan of theirs and this album is just a bunch of awesome things rolled together. While they may no longer be together, this is the best thing for me to remember them by. This plays in my house every year. 










#3 Celine Dion - These Are The Special Times

One of the greatest vocalists ever. Her voice + Christmas songs is just pure magic. These songs are almost like lullabies with her voice in the mix. Incredibly beautiful and one of the best.












#2 Christina Aguilera - My Kind of Christmas

I'm sure it isn't a surprise that this is on here. I pretty much love anything this woman does. I wouldn't include it though if I didn't truly love and appreciate it. This is definitely one that I do listen to every year and I just can't get over her voice. It makes everything sound like gold.










#1 Mariah Carey - Merry Christmas

I'm not even sure what I can say that will do this album justice. I've loved this ever since I was little and it hasn't lost it's power for me. Her rendition of "O Holy Night" can still bring me to tears. This album makes it feel like Christmas, makes me feel all warm and cozy, and makes me want to go out in the snow and play (which is a hard thing to make me feel nowadays.) This album will always be #1 for me. <3
