If I had to buy one Christmas album, it would have to be this one. Snowed In by Hanson is one of the finer Christmas CDs to be released within the past decade.

20th Century Masters (Universal) re-released this album with new cover art, CD art, lyric book, and a new written message from Hanson. The Title proves that this CD in indeed a great collection of Christmas songs that no one should be without!

It's great that its getting re-released, maybe newer fans of Hanson will see it and pick it up. I, not only as a Hanson fan but as a fan of music in general, think its one of the best Christmas albums out there. But for older hanson fans, it's "Snowed In" with a slightly altered cover and a higher price. Search "Snowed In - Hanson" and buy it used and get the original for cheaper. This just seems like a last ditch effort from Mercury/ Island to screw the last dime they can get out of ever having Hanson on their label.

5.0 out of 5 stars Snowed In -- A Christmas Jewel, August 28, 2005

Well it's that time of year again. Old Jack Frost has put a nip in the air and it's time to start decking the halls, hanging the mistletoe, and stuffing the stockings. It's time to make the season burn bright with merriment and what better way to do it than to pop Snowed In into your CD player. If this album doesn't get you into the Spirit of Christmas, nothing will!

From the first few notes of "Merry Christmas Baby" you just know that this is going to be one rockin' Christmas album. Not only does Hanson pay homage to the great Christmas classics of our time in such songs as the Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick", Phil Spector's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" and the traditional "Silent Night Medley: O Holy Night/ Silent Night/ O Come All Ye Faithful", they penned three of their own Christmas inspired renditions to show case their wonderful brotherly harmonies.

"Everybody Knows the Claus" is a spirited, upbeat song that every young at heart will surely love, as they sing about the jolly, old man in red. "Christmas Time" reminds us all to find the love our hearts but especially at this special time of year. And the third charm, my favorite, "At Christmas" is a beautiful, warm song that reminds me of my childhood Christmases, and I think it's destined to be a future classic.

And not to be forgotten, the energized melodies of "What Christmas Means to Me" and "Run Rudolph Run" are sure to add a little zip to your eggnog, as you trim the family tree and wrap the gifts bought so carefully with love.

So while you and your family are having some holiday fun and making some special family memories together this year, be sure you have this wonderful Christmas album playing throughout the holiday season. It's guaranteed to put a warm smile on your face, a twinkle in your eye and spring in your step. There won't be a Scrooge or Grinch in sight. Forget the cozy blankets and fire...

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow
