The 8 Best Christmas cds (2023 reviews)

The danny elfman christmas cd is the best feature-rich cd on the market today. Danny Elfman is an amazing composer and Tim Burton has an eye for making macabre story lines into magnificent films. The Nightmare Before Christmas has always been an absolute classic film with an equally wonderful soundtrack due to the undeniable talents of Danny Elfman. It features the original soundtrack, its songs still teetering between dark humor and poetic flights of fancy. The background tune hardly resembles the melody it is taken from. If you are a "The Nightmare Before Christmas" fan or someone who is going to just watch it this CD is worth the money to buy.

This CD has all the classics and some great remakes. It works in music history and also it is compatible with the album's paper inserts. The music is what makes Nightmare Before Christmas so good and this album is an awesome one to have for Halloween into Christmas.

Best For background Music: Carpenters Christmas Cd

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another cd that manages to win our hearts. It's the carpenters christmas cd and it's widely considered as cd that has the most suitable features. The collection is great for background music during Christmas parties and gatherings. It is the Hoop-de-Doo Chorale with Special Guests, the Carpenters. The purity and power of Karen's voice makes all the holiday classics that much more enjoyable. The second disc in this collection, originally An Old Fashioned Christmas, is an organic continuation of the first disc, and played back-to-back, they form a seamless whole of enjoyable Christmas fare. The harmonies are rich without appearing over-produced.

Aside from Karen's angelic voice, the arrangements for these songs really make these albums and truly capture and embody that Christmas feeling and the nostalgia. If you enjoy listening to both the Carpenters and Christmas music, you'll find that this collection sounds exactly as you would expect. These factors make this christmas collection the ultimate cd for the season.

Best cool Cd: Whitney Houston Christmas Cd

Buy on Amazon

The whitney houston christmas cd gives the top-tier cd a run for their money by offering flagship specs at a much more affordable price. This is a record that will put you in great Christmas spirit. It offers a stellar mix of contemporary takes on christmas music. The pointer sisters start the cd off on the right foot with an awesome version of santa claus coming to town. They harmonize well and the percussion along with the arrangement gives this holiday classic just a twist of a more modern, jazzy flavor.

The vocals are great and each track is well produced. You will find yourself singing and dancing and so excited about the holidays with all the songs on this one. It has awesome renditions of classics and a few more modern Christmas carols, gotta love RUNDMC's rap.

Best For Holiday Memories: Diana Palmer Christmas Cd

Buy on Amazon

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention diana palmer christmas cd for daily usage. This is a great Christmas album featuring the cast of Bonanza with traditional and what is then contemporary Christmas music and dialogue to make it feel like it is an episode of the show. Presented as a Christmas party on the Ponderosa, this CD features a mix of dialogue and Christmas songs. It's hokey and folksy evoking a simpler time. It's great that you do some of the old stuff too.

The CD doesn't have the 45 years of wear the album has, so there is no noise. This will bring you back home with the cartwrights. It is perfect for holiday memories.

Why We Like This:

Love it, fun and hilarious and yet memorable

Best band: Transsiberian Orchestra Christmas Cd

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another cd that manages to win our hearts. It's the transsiberian orchestra christmas cd and it's widely considered as one of the best convenient cd you can buy. It is a christmas gift to a special young lady. The blending of hard rock guitars with classical orchestration is phenomenal. This album gives you the feeling of Christmas, Family and the true meaning. Even if you aren't Christian and you just like to see awesome musicians this show is excellent. The arrangement is fantastic and creative without being pretentious.

This is a great Christmas album and should be in everyone's collection. The orchestra sounds wonderful in your car. If you like this one you will enjoy thier other Christmas Album, the Christmas Attic and if you want to enjoy TSO all throughout the year check out the wonderful Rock-Opera Beethoven's Last Night.

Nice to hear the traditional tunes mixed in with some hard guitars as well

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate cd. The estefancoppola christmas cd is exactly that - it's a simple cd that hits all the right notes. This is a great follow-up to Gloria’s first Christmas album, Christmas Through Your Eyes. Their blends and harmonies are great with little to no noticeable Autotune. It is a true family album that includes tracks by gloria, daughter emily and grandson sasha. They all hold their parts very well & bring talent to the table.
