Holiday albums have existed since at least 1945, when Bing Crosby released “Merry Christmas,” a collection of 8 Christmas songs for Decca Records. Since then, countless popular music artists have released full holiday albums to share their love of the sounds of the season… or simply to satisfy a record contract, or pay their mortgages. It’s a Christmas miracle! There have been dozens of iconic holiday albums released since Bing’s nearly 80 years ago. And now, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to determine: what IS the best holiday album of all time?
