“What does The Weather Channel have to do with Christmas?” we hear you cry. Well, look at it this way — how would you know whether or not to expect a white Christmas, or whether the scene is set for sleighing, ice skating, et al, without a meteorological go-to channel? For the folks who spend most of their time predicting rain, wind, and whatnot, the holidays are the only time they get to have any fun, and their Holiday Party album shows it. This Christmas collection offers a host of great pop and R&B artists tackling your favorite Christmas tunes. Aaron Neville lends his bird-like warble to a trio of tracks, most notably a jazzed-up “White Christmas.” The Beach Boys bop it up on a swinging, horn-laden version of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town.” Legendary jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi’s iconic Charlie Brown Christmas theme, “Christmastime is Here” will warm the heart of even the most hardened Scrooge, and a soulful, sassy take on “Baby It’s Cold Outside” by Ray Charles and Betty Carter will have you wondering why it hasn’t become the Weather Channel’s official wintertime theme song.
