Chicago is lighting up the holidays with a new collection that combines songs from all three of its beloved Christmas albums. The legendary “rock band with horns” will even add a few of those holiday classics to its live shows during its current tour.

The festive compilation shines a spotlight on Chicago’s unmistakable sound across 13 yuletide favorites, including “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow,” “All Over The World,” “Wonderful Christmas Time” (featuring Dolly Parton), and “Winter Wonderland.” The tracks originally appeared on Chicago XXV: The Christmas Album (1998), What’s It Gonna Be, Santa?(2003), Chicago XXXIII: O Christmas Three (2011), and Chicago XXXVII: Chicago Christmas (2019). Earlier this year, Chicago XXV: The Christmas Album and What’s It Gonna Be, Santa? were both certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Rhino/Warner Music Group recently acquired O Christmas Three (originally released on Chicago’s own label) and are reissuing it on CD. This brings all three of the band’s holiday albums together in one place, ensuring Chicago Greatest Christmas Hits is a truly comprehensive collection.

Chicago holds a prestigious place as one of the longest-running and best-selling groups of all time. It’s the first American band to chart albums in Billboard’s Pop Top 40 in six consecutive decades, ranking as the highest charting American band in Billboard’s Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists, and the #4 band on Billboard’s All-Time Top Bands and Duos list. The group’s extensive accomplishments include: two Grammy Awards® and a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Recording Academy, multiple American Music Awards, 11 Number One singles, five consecutive Number One albums, and sales of over 100 million records, with 47 albums earning gold and platinum certification. Chicago was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016, and its debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, was inducted into the Grammy® Hall Of Fame in 2014. In 2017, the Songwriters Hall of Fame inducted songwriters Robert Lamm (“25 or 6 to 4”, “Saturday In The Park”) and James Pankow (“Feelin’ Stronger Every Day,” “Make Me Smile”).
