George Strait Classic Christmas will brighten this year’s holiday season ten traditional holiday songs that are Strait’s personal favorites. The album includes family favorites such as “We Three Kings,” the playful “Up on the Housetop,” and the enduring classics such as “Hark, The Herald Angels Sing,” “Deck the Halls,” “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”
“I wanted to put together a collection of my favorite traditional Christmas songs that I grew up listening to,” says Strait. “It was hard to narrow it down to ten of them, but I think I’ve done it. I hope these songs bring back good memories for my fans like they have for me.”
Don’t miss your chance to listen to some of your holiday favorites and win at George Strait Classic Christmas Night at participating nightclubs across the country.
