With lyrics that are still relevant fifteen years on (who doesn't want the keys to a CLK Mercedes for Christmas?), Destiny's Child's '8 Days of Christmas' is the gift that keeps on giving.

Kylie pulls in sister Danni for this album's biggest banger '100 degrees', a Minogue original that pays homage to the holidays in the southern hemisphere.

A very classy Christmas album by post-Genie in a Bottle, pre-Dirrty era Christina. Her version of 'O Holy Night' puts Mariah Carey's to shame.

...but that's ok because all we want from Mariah is 'All I Want for Christmas is You', on repeat.

...which she reprises with the Biebs on 'Under the Mistletoe', an album that also features duets with Usher and Busta Rhymes.

With track titles like 'Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto', Christmas on Death Row by Death Row Records (that's Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, et al.) won't be everyone's cup of tea. But it's certainly not short on ho(e)-ho(e)-ho(e)s.

Fans of the popular Nashville TV series won't be disappointed by 'Christmas with Nashville', which takes everyones favourite Christmas classics and repackages them in rhinestones.

And for more Christmas/Country crossover, you can't go past a Taylor Swift's 2007 offering.

A Very She & Him Christmas is everything that it says in the title. Zooey Deschanel was born to sing Christmas covers.

Also everything that it says in the title is A Very Special Christmas - a series of compilations created to benefit the Special Olympics. We love 'A Very Special Christmas Volume 3' and its oh-so 1997 lineup of artists that includes Patti Smith, No Doubt, Sting, Mary J. Blige and the Smashing Pumpkins.

Question: if your Christmas isn't a Michael Bublé Christmas, is it Christmas at all?

Lady Gaga's 'A Very Gaga Holiday' EP might only contain one Christmas song, but with jazz covers and acoustic versions of some of her best ballads, it's actually a welcome Christmas carol reprieve.
