About The Record:

Your Favorite Songs of Christmas, by Various Artists, is a double-LP 20th anniversary collectors compilation drawn from Firestone's acclaimed series of exclusive holiday recordings produced by Forrell & Thomas, featuring operatic stars, popular vocalists, and choral ensembles in reverent arrangements often styled like cantatas with full lyrics provided. Unique among promotional Christmas albums, it gathers digitally remastered highlights from the 1960s-era LPs that were custom-made for the tire company and distributed as gifts, offering a historically significant snapshot of mid-century easy-listening and classical holiday music tied to corporate advertising traditions. Standout tracks include fan-favorites like O Holy Night by Leontyne Price, The Bells of Christmas by Julie Andrews with The Young Americans, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Vic Damone, and medleys featuring the Vienna Choir Boys, Vikki Carr, and the Firestone Chorus. Additional highlights encompass Silent Night performed by an all-star ensemble and White Christmas by Gordon MacRae and Martha Wright. This retrospective remains a sought-after collectible for its rare assembly of material not easily found elsewhere.
