 | Andrea Bocelli My ChristmasItalian pop-classical crooner Andrea Bocelli duets with Mary J. Blige ("What Child Is This"), Reba McEntire ("Blue Christmas"), the Muppets ("Jingle Bells"), Natalie Cole, Katherine Jenkins and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, to name just a few guests. |

 | Bob Dylan Christmas In The HeartThe Billboard review noted that "even by Bob Dylan's standards, his new album "Christmas in the Heart" is an odd one." The collection, which benefits Feeding America and other food charities, includes classics like "Here Comes Santa Claus" and lesser-known songs like "Christmas Island" and "Must Be Santa." The set earned Dylan a No. 1 spot on the Holiday Albums chart. |

 | Sting If On A Winter's NightThis is a set of holiday-inspired songs, but it's not quite a Christmas album, Sting recently told Billboard. "The whole season is much broader than that," he said. "Winter is about inspiration and imagination." Sting was inspired by everything from a 14th-century carol ("Gabriel's Message") to traditional lullabies and poems. The album debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200. |

 | Sugarland Green And GoldThe Billboard Review of this holiday set from Country twosome Sugarland called it "a smart and comfortable mix of standards and new songs penned by the duo." Highlights include "Winter Wonderland," "Nuttin' for Christmas," "Holly Jolly Christmas" and opener "City of Silver Dreams." |
