The title doesn't lie, even if it does sounds like a hyperbolic pitch from an old late-night cable TV ad. With 36 tracks of various genres spread over two discs, Now That's What I Call Christmas might be the best, most eclectic "value-plus" holiday record ever released, assuming your tastes embrace crooners such as Cole, Crosby, and Como, plus contemporary boy bands such as Boyz II Men, as well as the ubiquitous Britney Spears. In between there are the sumptuous classics by Bobby Helms, Brenda Lee, the Beach Boys, Elvis, and Burl Ives on disc one, balanced on disc two by more recent standards, including Bruce Springsteen's live version of "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" and John and Yoko's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)." You're not obligated to like everything here, but that's why Santa invented the forward button on your CD player. --Martin Keller

This is my 2nd CD of this. My other one was kinda scratched up. It was like that when I bought it & it has gotten worse so I got me another one. I love the songs on there. I listen to them every year for a whole month sometimes a little longer. I have the other 2 CD's that goes with this one.
Essential for holiday music collection January 16, 2008
R.J.
Disc One contains such holiday music basics as Bing Crosby with "White Christmas", Gene Autry with "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" and Nat King Cole with "The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)", title slightly changed from "(Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire)". Disc One also includes The Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick". According to the liner notes, The Beach Boys never recorded a Christmas album. So how exactly does the author of these liner notes explain a 16 track CD I also have in my collection titled "The Beach Boys' Christmas Album"? Included on Disc Two are Paul McCartney's joyful "Wonderful Christmastime" and Mannheim Steamroller's beautifully done version of "Away In A manger". The two disc holiday set concludes with a very good and wise choice in the selection of the harmonies of Boyz II Men with "Silent Night". An essential for anyone's holiday music collection.
A Christmas CD January 14, 2008

I am very pleased with the CD "That's What I Call Christmas". It has many songs on it that my others don't have and I like it very much. I enjoy Christmas music and this CD is great.
Top Value and Great Music! January 13, 2008
T. A. Ashley (Upstate New York, USA)
I have a guilty little confession to make...I'm something of a Christmas music junkie. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 80+ Christmas CD's, and seem to add to my nefarious collection every year. This year, among a few other CD's, I picked this up. I need help, I know. But I just couldn't resist!
In all seriousness, this is an outstanding little collection for the money. It has a bit of something for nearly everyone to enjoy, and they wisely put the more traditional fare on the first disc, while disc two contains the more contemporary material. This makes an excellent background track during holiday mixers or when you're doing any number of a zillion holiday-related chores around the house. Go ahead and snap up a copy of this two-disc set today, and you'll be set for many Christmases to come!
