This Christmas-themed compilation album with twelve tracks from eight of their artists was released by Coral Records in 1958.
Here are the vivacious McGuire Sisters, with their interpretations of the delightful Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town, and the adorable Littlest Angel; Teresa Brewer, the popular “Miss Music,” sings the charming I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus and Jingle Bell Rock; The Ames Brothers offer their interpretations of the immortal White Christmas, and the captivating Winter Wonderland; Dorothy Collins sings Mister Santa; the youthful, zestful Lennon Sisters wish you a lilting Merry Merry Christmas; Mel Torme sings The Christmas Song; Johnny Desmond delivers an unusual interpretation of Santo Natale; and Lawrence Welk wraps the entire Yuletide package up quite neatly and beautifully with a collection of timeless carols.
Merry Christmas… from the stars.

The headline face on the back cover is worth a closer look: it’s Ornata. The ornamented roman was designed by Oskar H. W. Hadank and cut as a metal typeface in 14 (!) sizes by the Klingspor foundry.
