Christmas With Bing Crosby (Stars From Vinyl) presents a large seasonal collection from Bing Crosby, issued in 2016 and running 2:22:38 across 50 tracks. The set leans into familiar holiday listening with well-known titles such as "White Christmas", "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!", "Happy Holiday" and "Silver Bells". It is built for long winter evenings, with enough material to move from classic carols to more relaxed popular standards without breaking the seasonal mood.
The Christmas sequence gathers many of the songs most often associated with December listening. "Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)", "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Jingle Bells", "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" and "The Little Drummer Boy" sit alongside reverent pieces like "Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful)", "Silent Night", "O Holy Night" and "The First Noel". There are also medleys, including "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" with "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" and "What Child Is This?" with "The Holly And The Ivy", adding variety to the track flow.
Holiday atmosphere is only part of the picture. The album also includes winter and end-of-year favorites such as "Winter Wonderland", "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas", "Snow" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", which suit cozy home listening and quiet gatherings as the year winds down. Crosby's familiar presentation gives these songs a steady, classic profile, and the sequence keeps returning to festive images of snow, bells, lights and seasonal greetings rather than chasing modern arrangements.
Beyond the carols, the track list widens into Crosby's broader pop catalog, with songs like "Swinging On A Star", "Moonlight Becomes You", "Pennies From Heaven", "True Love" and "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams (And Dream Your Troubles Away)". That mix makes the set useful as a long-form holiday playlist because it alternates between Christmas material and familiar standards. Tracks such as "You Are My Sunshine", "The Whiffenpoof Song (Baa, Baa, Baa)" and "Deep In The Heart Of Texas" give the compilation a more varied, archive-style feel.
As a Christmas and New Year listening option, Christmas With Bing Crosby (Stars From Vinyl) offers a wide view of Crosby's seasonal repertoire in pop format. It includes playful pieces like "Frosty The Snowman", "Little Jack Frost Get Lost" and "Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas)", along with traditional selections such as "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" and "Good King Wenceslas". For listeners building a festive rotation, it provides a substantial run of recognizable titles and a steady winter atmosphere from first track to last.
