Cee-Lo’s Magic Moment by Cee-Lo Green
Cee-Lo’s time on the Voice has only enhanced his popularity.  Here he performs several Christmas songs with a variety of perfomers including the Muppets and Rod Stewart.  See the video of his performance with Kermit the Frog on the Voice TV program above (link is from the Voice’s Youtube channel).

Holidays Rule by various artists
This new Christmas compilation has some interesting artists involved including the Civil Wars, Andrew Bird, fun, and the Shins.

On this Winter’s Night by Lady Antebellum
The second holiday album from Lady Antebellum in the last few years.  Includes Christmas Baby and Holly jolly Christmas.

Cheers, It’s Christmas by Blake Shelton
Another popular artist from the Voice TV show with a new Christmas album.

Very Perri Christmas by Christina Perri
Perri follows up her popular debut album with a Christmas one.  Includes Something About December and Happy Xmas (War is Over).

Merry Christmas Baby by Rod Stewart
Stewart continues recording old standards – this time with a Christmas bent, to great success.

Christmas in the Sand by Colbie Caillat
Caillat brings her beach music sensibility to the Christmas holiday with some new songs and old standards.

We Have Savior by Hillsong
This Christian music group records some of their favorite holiday tunes.

Home for Christmas by Celtic Woman
Celtic influenced holiday tunes.

Dreams of Fireflies by Trans-Siberian Orchestra
A new holiday collection from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra

and one of my all time favorite holiday albums:

Songs for Christmas v. 1-5 by Sufjan Stevens
This one’s not new, but it’s a great 5 CD holiday collection from the eclectic artist, Sufjan Stevens.  I highly recommend it if you’re looking for something a little different this holiday.  My standout is Put the Lights on the Tree.  Enjoy!
