"Yet another great compilation of Christmas songs old & new, thanks to Joe McCoy, WCBS-FM New York's Programming Director. I hope these albums continue to come out at this time every year-an annual tradition that shouldn't stop here. This album begins with Wham's big yuletide hit Last Christmas; and continues with such goodies as Frosty The Snowman as done by The Jackson Five, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing by America, Doo Wop Christmas by Kenny Vance & The Planotones(a favorite cut of mine), the golden chestnut Kissin' By The Mistletoe by Aretha(hard to believe she recorded it about 40 yrs. ago); among many others. Oh, before I forget-I can't leave out the inclusion of Morning Mayor-DJ Harry Harrison's traditional May You Always-Harry has been playing this on his program for many years now & by popular demand it was included on this album; it is appropriate that it is the 25th(and final)cut on this collection. A must-have if you collect these Ultimate Christmas Albums every year-and even if you don't, you are sure to enjoy this for many Christmases to come. Very highly recommended."

The best so far

"You'd think that WCBS could only go to the well so many times but
they have scored again with this latest edition of what now has almost become a Christmas institution. What makes this collection
unique is that most of the songs are not the big hits of the season (if you want that go volumes 1 to 4). Instead you get a collection that has a very consistent sound and mix so that you won't find yourself skipping tracks. Plus you get Wham's Last
Christmas and Greg Lake's alternate version of I believe in father Christmas. What more could you ask for? Volume seven perhaps?"
