"Christmas With Rosemary Clooney" by Rosemary Clooney is a 2018 jazz holiday album built for winter listening, festive gatherings, and quiet end-of-year evenings. The 22-track program runs 01:00:09 and moves through familiar seasonal titles with a relaxed, classic vocal style. From the opening "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" to the closing "Auld Lang Syne," the album stays centered on Christmas and New Year atmosphere, with songs that fit both a decorated room and a calm night at home.
The track list brings together several well-known carols and standards, including "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear," "The Christmas Song," "Jingle Bells," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," and "Little Drummer Boy." These songs appear more than once across the album, which gives the collection a repeated, unhurried rhythm suited to holiday playlists. "Silver Bells" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" add to the traditional core, while "Rudolph The Red-Nose Reindeer" and "Frosty The Snowman" bring a lighter seasonal note.
There is also a more playful side to the sequence, with titles like "Little Red Riding Hood's Christmas Tree," "Suzy Snowflake," and "Night Before Christmas Song." "Look Out The Window (The Winter Song)" and "Merry Christmas All" widen the winter theme beyond a single holiday evening, so the album works well across the full season. Because the selections are arranged as a long set rather than a short sample, it can serve as background music for wrapping gifts, preparing dinner, or settling in after a busy December day.
As a jazz release, "Christmas With Rosemary Clooney" keeps the focus on recognizable melody and holiday familiarity. The repeated appearances of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear," "Suzy Snowflake," "Little Drummer Boy," "The Christmas Song," and "Jingle Bells" reinforce a consistent seasonal tone without moving away from the album's warm, classic framework. That makes the collection easy to revisit whenever the goal is simple Christmas music with a New Year closing touch.
For listeners who want a substantial holiday album with clear seasonal markers, this Rosemary Clooney set offers a full hour of Christmas and winter standards in one place. The mix of carols, novelty favorites, and closing "Auld Lang Syne" gives the album a familiar shape from start to finish. It is a straightforward catalog choice for December listening, especially when the mood calls for jazz, tradition, and a gentle transition from Christmas into the new year.
