NEW YORK \u2014 \u2018Tis the season to put on some brand-new holiday music. The best way to get festive is to sing along to Christmas classics new and old. But don\u2019t know what to press play on? We\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n
In honor of the most wonderful time of the year, here are some of the best new holiday releases for the 2025 season. So, grab a loved one, a cup of eggnog and get to listening.<\/p>\n
\u2018Christmas in The City,\u2019 Pentatonix<\/strong><\/p>\n For the a cappella fan, there is no better news than yet another holiday album from Pentatonix. Across 18 tracks, \u201cChristmas in the City\u201d celebrates the magic of cosmopolitan life around the holidays and showcases the group\u2019s vocal athletics. Hear them reimagine the songs you know and love as well as introduce a few originals. Start with \u201cSnowing in Paris,\u201d which features the R&B-pop star JoJo, and end with \u201cI\u2019ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm,\u201d a never-before-heard recording of the Frank Sinatra classic featuring Ol\u2019 Blue Eyes himself.<\/p>\n \u2018A Charlie Brown Christmas,\u2019 Guaraldi<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to believe, but 60 years ago, the \u201cPeanuts\u201d gang\u2019s classic \u201cA Charlie Brown Christmas\u201d aired on television for the first time and become an almost-instant sensation. Part of its charms, of course, must be credited to its whimsical score by jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi. To celebrate such a huge anniversary, Craft Recordings is reissuing its soundtrack \u2014 as good a reason as any to revisit these beloved songs.<\/p>\n \u2018Greatest Hits Christmas,\u2019 LeAnne Rimes<\/strong><\/p>\n Just ahead of her Christmas tour, the country icon LeAnn Rimes released \u201cGreatest Hits Christmas.\u201d It\u2019s exactly what it sounds like: a mesh of classics and some of her best-known songs from her past holiday albums. There are also new collaborations, like Aloe Blacc on \u201cThe Spirit of Christmas\u201d and Gavin DeGraw on \u201cCelebrate Me Home.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018Snow Globe Town,\u2019 Brad Paisley<\/strong><\/p>\n Some things just make sense together: peanut butter and jelly, coffee and doughnuts, Brad Paisley and his touring band sitting down in Nashville to record a charming Christmas album. \u201cSnow Globe Town\u201d boasts of eight originals and eight covers \u2014 exactly what the heart wants this holiday season. It\u2019s the former collection that will really connect, though; there are real charms to be found in \u201cLit,\u201d \u201cThat Crazy Elf\u201d and the title track.<\/p>\n \u2018Christmastime,\u2019 Trisha Yearwood<\/strong><\/p>\n Country singer Trisha Yearwood\u2019s voice sounds like coming home; it makes her the ideal talent for a new holiday collection. \u201cChristmastime\u201d is stacked with familiar tunes and perhaps, best of all, features \u201cMerry Christmas, Valentine,\u201d a duet with her husband Garth Brooks. Blast that one at your get-together and there won\u2019t be a dry eye in the house.<\/p>\n \u2018Holidays,\u2019 Roberta Flack<\/strong><\/p>\n The world lost a giant in February when Roberta Flack, the Grammy-<\/p>\n winning singer and pianist, died at 88. Perhaps best known for her timeless take on \u201cKilling Me Softly with His Song,\u201d the Christmas season brings up another reason to celebrate her. A new release, \u201cHolidays,\u201d like many on this list, features originals and covers \u2014 and a selection of songs from Flack\u2019s classic \u201cThe Christmas Album.\u201d It holds a special meaning this year.<\/p>\n \u2018Feels Like Christmas,\u2019 Mickey Guyton<\/strong><\/p>\n The country powerhouse Mickey Guyton feels like Christmas and once you dive into these eight tracks, you will, too. From her rendition of \u201cO Holy Night\u201d to her masterful take on \u201cDo You Want to Build a Snowman?\u201d from Disney\u2019s \u201cFrozen\u201d (sorry, parents!) there\u2019s a lot to love here.<\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s Christmas,\u2019 Eric Benet<\/strong><\/p>\n R&B singer Eric Benet\u2019s first holiday album, \u201cIt\u2019s Christmas,\u201d is filled with warmth; consider it the sonic equivalent of curling up to a roaring fireplace on a snowy winter\u2019s evening. Don\u2019t believe us? Well, one listen to his take on \u201cPlease Come Home for Christmas\u201d or \u201cOh Holy Night\u201d will make you a believer. Or better yet, there\u2019s \u201cChristmas Morning,\u201d featuring Benet\u2019s youngest daughters Lucia and Luna. Tissues, you might want to grab a few.<\/p>\n \u2018The Chess Records Christmas Album\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometimes a compilation album is what a holiday party needs. Chess Records has the answer. \u201cThe Chess Records Christmas Album\u201d is an impressive collection of veteran talent. The release features everything from Chuck Berry\u2019s \u201cRun Rudolph Run\u201d and The Moonglows\u2019 \u201cHey Santa Claus\u201d to Lenox Avenue\u2019s \u201cLittle Drummer Boy\u201d and The Salem Travelers\u2019 \u201cMerry Christmas to You.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.altoonamirror.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This image released by Sandfall Interactive\/Kepler Interactive shows a scene from the video game “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.” (Sandfall Interactive\/Kepler Interactive via AP) NEW YORK \u2014 \u2018Tis the season to put on some brand-new holiday music.
