This Year At Christmas is a 2016 jazz album by Band Of Other Brothers built for the holiday stretch from early December gatherings to the last nights of the year. Across 13 tracks and a total duration of 01:11:06, it moves through familiar seasonal material and original titles with an easy, band-centered feel. The set opens and closes with versions of It's Christmas Again, including the later It's Christmas Again ((Extra Stuffed Stocking Version)), giving the album a circular seasonal frame.

Several well known songs place the record firmly in Christmas listening. Sleigh Ride, Silent Night, Little Drummer Boy, The Holly And The Ivy, and Good King Wenceslas all appear here, offering a sequence that suits winter playlists, tree-lighting nights, and quieter evenings at home. In the middle of those classics, Blue Xmas (To Whom It May Concern) adds a different seasonal shade, while Santa Claus Is Comin To Jam points to a looser, more playful side within the album's jazz approach.

The track list also gives the album its own identity through titles that are less standard. Christmas Comin On and Christmas Ain T Christmas both speak directly to the mood of the season, one leaning toward anticipation and the other toward the idea that the holidays only feel complete when the right atmosphere arrives. The title track, This Year At Christmas, brings that focus even closer, sounding like a statement of intent for a particular season rather than a generic collection of winter songs.

One of the most specific details in the program is What Are You Doing New Year S Eve, which extends the album beyond Christmas Day and into the end-of-year transition. That single inclusion makes This Year At Christmas useful not only for festive December afternoons but also for late holiday dinners and New Year playlists that need a smoother, jazz-led change of pace. With 13 tracks spread over just more than seventy one minutes, the album has room to settle into an evening without feeling rushed.

As a catalog entry, This Year At Christmas stands out for balancing recognized material with named seasonal pieces that keep the sequence grounded in the holiday calendar. Band Of Other Brothers places It's Christmas Again beside Silent Night, then moves from The Holly And The Ivy to What Are You Doing New Year S Eve without breaking the winter mood. For listeners looking for a 2016 jazz holiday album with a full-length runtime, clear Christmas references, and a direct link to New Year listening, this set is easy to place and easy to return to each December.
