Alvin and The Chipmunks make the yuletide season bright with a festive, 10-track collection of their most-loved holiday classics, Chipmunks Christmas.

Chipmunks Christmas includes the perennial holiday hit, first released in 1958, The Chipmunk Song by Ross Bagdasarian Sr, as well as Jingle Bells, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus Is Comin To Town, Frosty The Snowman and other holiday favorites.

Chipmunks Christmas continues Alvin and The Chipmunks long tradition of making spirits bright for the holidays.





The first volume of "A Very Special Christmas" was issued on behalf of the Special Olympics organization in 1987. The vinyl version of that debut sees itself reissued 29 years later with the same look and content for this Christmas season. Fifteen notable artists contributed their time and talent, along with producer extraordinaire Jimmy Iovine who helped create the series, and the late Keith Haring whose design graces the covers for this global cause.






A Legendary Christmas, a 2018 album of yuletide standards from the multi-award winning (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony!) soul singer. A Legendary Christmas features fourteen songs; eight of which are "Christmas Classics" and six are original songs.
