NEW YORK (AP) \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<\/a> 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

\u201cChristmas in The City,\u201d Pentatonix<\/h4>\n

For the a cappella fan, there is no better news than yet another holiday album from Pentatonix.<\/a> 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,<\/a> and end with \u201cI\u2019ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm,\u201d a never-before-heard recording of the Frank Sinatra<\/a> classic featuring Ol\u2019 Blue Eyes himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Charlie Brown Christmas,\u201d Vince Guaraldi<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe, but 60 years ago, the \u201cPeanuts\u201d gang\u2019s classic \u201cA Charlie Brown Christmas\u201d<\/a> 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

\u201cGreatest Hits Christmas,\u201d LeAnn Rimes<\/h4>\n

Just ahead of her Christmas tour, the country icon LeAnn Rimes<\/a> 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 \u201cThat Spirit of Christmas\u201d and Gavin DeGraw on \u201cCelebrate Me Home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSnow Globe Town,\u201d Brad Paisley<\/h4>\n

Some things just make sense together: peanut butter and jelly, coffee and doughnuts, Brad Paisley<\/a> 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

\u201cChristmastime,\u201d Trisha Yearwood<\/h4>\n

Country singer Trisha Yearwood\u2019s<\/a> 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.<\/a> Blast that one at your get-together and there won\u2019t be a dry eye in the house.<\/p>\n

\u201cHolidays,\u201d Roberta Flack<\/h4>\n

The world lost a giant in February when Roberta Flack,<\/a> the Grammy-winning singer and pianist, died at 88. Perhaps best known for her timeless take on \u201cKilling Me Softly with His Song,\u201d<\/a> 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

\u201cFeels Like Christmas,\u201d Mickey Guyton<\/h4>\n

The country powerhouse Mickey Guyton<\/a> 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

\u201cIt\u2019s Christmas,\u201d Eric Ben\u00e9t<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

R&B singer Eric Ben\u00e9t\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 Ben\u00e9t\u2019s youngest daughters Lucia and Luna. Tissues, you might want to grab a few.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Chess Records Christmas Album,\u201d various artists<\/h4>\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<\/a> \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

\u201cEvergreen Christmas Sessions,\u201d Hunter Hayes<\/h4>\n

Hunter Hayes is a newer name on the country scene than a few of the artists listed here, but that simply means he\u2019s a fresh voice to discover. His \u201cEvergreen Christmas Sessions\u201d is a brief introduction \u2014 just four covers of holiday standards \u2014 but it\u2019s a charming romp. Start with \u201cWinter Wonderland\u201d and \u201cHave Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,\u201d stay for \u201cRun Run Rudolph\u201d and \u201cSilent Night.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
