Disney's Family Christmas collects 20 singalong versions of holiday favorites as performed by vocal groups of men, women, and children, as well as Disney favorites like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. While all the performances on the album are fine, there's a slightly cold, digital edge to its sound that suggests that it could be difficult to build a family tradition of singing along to it. If a family doesn't already have a singalong Christmas album with "Jingle Bells," "Frosty the Snowman," "Deck the Halls," and "Joy to the World" on it, or if they must have a Disney Christmas album, then this collection might fill the bill. However, Disney has released better holiday albums in the past; most people would probably be better served by seeking out one of those older albums instead.
