Holiday albums are a subgenre all their own, with a brief sales window each holiday season, offset by the fact that these albums are generally economical and easy to produce, often featuring hymns or carols that are in the public domain, and they can be reissued each holiday season for years, and sometimes even decades, all of which makes them far from a loss leader. This set features select tracks from Gladys Knight & the Pips, who recorded several such Christmas releases, a trend Knight continued when she went solo.
