Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it's officially acceptable to hear and play Christmas music all the time. While classic Christmas music will always have a place in my heart, contemporary artists have created some modern classics, like Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You". And most of those new holiday tunes come from some of the best 2000s Christmas albums ever. There are plenty to choose from, as there comes a time in every rock and pop star's career in which a holiday album becomes inevitable. But why not? Christmas music of all kinds rules the radio airwaves from the end of November until December every year.
This year, several artists will be joining the club by releasing their own holiday albums for 2015: Train (with Christmas in Tahoe), Kenny Rogers (Once Again It's Christmas), Kylie Minogue (Kylie Christmas), RuPaul (Slay Belles), and many others. I love Christmas albums, because they give you the chance to hear your favorite musicians sing classic holiday songs like "Silent Night", "O Come All Ye Faithful", "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", and "Frosty the Snowman", as well as new original tracks that could one day become your new favorite Christmas-centric tunes. And hey, it could happen - Carey released "All I Want For Christmas" in 1994 and since then, it has become a Christmas mainstay.
9. Merry Christmas II You (Mariah Carey)
Carey's Merry Christmas holiday album was a huge success in 1994, so she released a sequel album in 2010, because there's always more Christmas to sing about. The 2000s were a magical time, especially when it came to Christmas-themed albums.
