I had this CD back in the 90s. I don't know what happened to it so I reordered it on Amazon. It features all the artists you normally hear on the radio at holiday time. Most of the songs are familiar, but there are a few rare tunes, as it were on this CD as well. My favorites are:

Christmas Carousel - Peggy Lee
Hurry Home For Christmas - Steve & Eydie
My Favorite Things - Andy Williams
Toyland - Doris Day
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - Dean Martin

Bing's White Christmas is on here, but The Christmas Song is sung by Mel Torme, who wrote it. It has a different opening ("All through the year we've waited . . ."), but sounds good. Nat is represented here singing Deck the Halls. Sinatra, Mathis, Como, all the usual suspects are here. Nice for a family gathering or background for a holiday party.

Some of the biggest names in the recording biz are all on here-guys with names like Bing, Frank, Perry, Nat, Tony, etc.; as well as gals with names like Ella, Rosemary, Peggy, Doris, Jo, etc., all familiar old friends. You can't beat the price, either for all this talent on one holiday collection. Lots of good stuff here-Tony Bennett's Santa Claus Is Coming To Town starts things off & is followed by such tunes as Perry Como singing Silver Bells, Frank Sinatra's Christmas Waltz, Ella's Silent Night & many, many more. One or two songs are so-so(and no, I won't mention them)which is why I only rated it 4 stars-which still is not a bad deal. Highly recommended.
