Christmas is the fifth studio album released by Canadian crooner Michael Bublé. The album was released on October 21, 2011 in Ireland, October 24, 2011 in the United Kingdom, and October 25, 2011 in the United States. The album debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 in the US, selling 141,000 copies in its first week.

For the album, Bublé teamed up with several well-known artists to record duets. He recorded a version of "White Christmas" with country music singer Shania Twain, and teamed up with Latin star Thalía for a recording of "Feliz Navidad".

In Canada, the album debuted at #2 on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 37,000 copies in its first week. In its third week of release, the album reached number one in Canada, selling an additional 32,000 copies.

"Christmas" also debuted at #2 in Australia. In its second week on the chart, the album was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipments of 35,000 copies.
Christmas is vocalist Michael Bublé's first full-length holiday-themed album since his 2003 EP Let It Snow. As with that album, Christmas features Bublé backed by small ensembles as well as his big band and orchestra, and includes a handful of classic Christmas songs. In that sense, the album is a rather old-school affair, with Bublé in prime Bing Crosby-meets-Dean Martin vocal style tackling such chestnuts as "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas," "Silent Night," and "I'll Be Home for Christmas." There are also some fine, contemporary, if still retro-sounding, pop moments here including Bublé's duet with the British female pop trio the Puppini Sisters on "Jingle Bells," and his inspired, slightly melancholy reworking of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You." Ultimately, Christmas is a warm and inviting album that showcases Bublé's impeccable vocal chops.
