Advantages: Original songs, jazzed up classics.
Disadvantages: Can only really listen to at Christmas time.

...Ok, so a christmas album may not seem that novel an idea, but when you stop and consider it, very few artists make christmas albums these days, let alone one that is really good. As well as timeless classics such as "silent night", "white christmas" and "merry christmas baby", they have also written some new christmas songs which is a feat for ones so young.

Christmas with HANSON will make it all the more fun.... Read review

Advantages: A wide mix of beautiful Christmas songs, with memorable covers and gorgeous originals. This CD just oozes festive spirit.

Other stunners include the achingly sweet "At Christmas", the gorgeous "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home" and Zac's upbeat solo "What Christmas... Read review
