Now that there’s a chill in the air and the Christmas decorations are out in full-force, you need to make sure you are ready! Whether you’re into classics like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Ella Fitzgerald, classical crossover artists like Il Volo, Jackie Evancho, and Josh Groban, or pop stars like Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, Sia, or Ariana Grande, there is something that everyone will enjoy.

This holiday season, don’t be afraid to discover something new! There are plenty of albums on this list that you may have never heard before from artists you didn’t even know recorded Christmas songs, so maybe it’s about time you give them a chance!
