Bing Crosby's Fantastic Music For Christmas (All The Greatest Tracks) is a 2016 Pop collection built for long holiday listening. With 20 tracks across 58:56, it suits the steady pace of December afternoons, Christmas gatherings, and the quiet hours between Christmas Day and New Year. The title places it in a seasonal setting, while the program offers a broad run of familiar songs that can sit comfortably beside winter standards in an end-of-year playlist.
The selection moves through well-known titles with an easy, unhurried flow. "Just A Gigolo" opens the set of names listed here with bright character, while "Beyond The Reef" and "It Ain't Necessarily So" add a different color early on. "Don't Fence Me In" and "People Will Say We're In Love" bring in classic songbook appeal, and "Temptation" next to "Mule Train" gives the album a varied but consistent shape for a cozy evening at home.
Midway through, the track list keeps changing the mood without losing continuity. "Moonlight Becomes You" and "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby" place romantic and playful material side by side, then "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and "I'll Be Seeing You" slow the room down. "Ballerina" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band" follow with more contrast, making the collection useful when a Christmas playlist needs depth beyond the usual run of carols and obvious seasonal songs.
The later sequence continues that balance. "Gone Fishin" has a relaxed, conversational feel by title alone, while "If I Loved You" and "I Can't Begin To Tell You" lean toward reflective listening that works well during the colder end of the year. "You Belong To My Heart" and "Where The Blue Of The Night" keep the album grounded in classic pop repertoire, and "Easter Parade" adds another familiar standard before the closing track "Now Is The Hour".
For listeners browsing Christmas and New Year albums, this release stands out as a long-form seasonal companion rather than a short novelty set. The 20-track length and near-hour duration make it practical for decorating, hosting, or winding down after festivities. Fantastic Music For Christmas (All The Greatest Tracks) by Bing Crosby gives a winter playlist plenty of recognizable material, from "Just A Gigolo" to "Now Is The Hour", with enough range to carry the atmosphere through the whole holiday period.
