Elvis' Christmas Album (also reissued as It's Christmas Time) is the third studio album and first Christmas album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley on RCA Victor, a deluxe limited edition, released October 15, 1957, and recorded at Radio Recorders in Hollywood. It has been reissued in numerous different formats since its first release. It spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, and was the first of two Christmas-themed albums Presley would record, the other being Elvis Sings the Wonderful World of Christmas, released in 1971. The publication Music Vendor listed Elvis' Christmas Album on their singles charts for two weeks in December 1957 – January 1958, with a peak position of No. 49.

While most of the songs selected were traditional Christmas fare, such as "White Christmas" and "Silent Night", two new songs by regular suppliers of material for Presley were commissioned. One was "Santa Bring My Baby Back (to Me)" and the other (selected by Presley to open the album), was a blues-based rock and roll number, "Santa Claus Is Back in Town", written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

The ultimate Elvis' Christmas CD you'll ever need!
This is the best single-disc compilation of Elvis' Christmas songs that you can get, with the best sound ever heard.

The King of Rock & Roll recorded music for every occasion and has been packaged in every shape and size imaginable. This collection is a particularly generous overview (29 tracks!) of all his Christmas recordings and a some Gospel songs (including alternate takes.) Guests include the Jordanaires and the Imperials Quartet.

This collection combines the 1957 version of "Elvis' Christmas Album" and his 1971 "Elvis Sings The Wonderful World of Christmas" album.
Elvis recorded 20 Christmas songs during his career. All of them are on this CD in chronological order (including a live version of "Blue Christmas" from the '68 Comeback Special,) in addition to 8 Gospel songs in reversed chronological order.

The songs recorded for the 1957 "Elvis' Christmas Album" are outstanding! Elvis is in top form for these songs and several of them have become Christmas classics still receiving radio play 50 years after they were recorded!

The rest of the songs from his 1971 "The Wonderful World of Christmas" album are good but not in the same class as the earlier recordings. Elvis' voice seems strained on a few songs and in general the material is not has strong as his earlier recordings. But still they are very good and certainly worthy of listening to during the Christmas season.

If you are looking for a collection of Elvis Christmas music and some of his mellow Gospel songs, this is the collection for you!
