Pack away your jack-o'-lanterns, because it's time to get in the mood to deck the halls.

While you're at it, you might as well add some new holiday favorites to your Christmas playlist. "Jingle Bells" will always be a classic, but every year some of your favorite artists release brand-new holiday albums, and 2017 is no exception.
If anything, this year may have more must-hear Christmas albums than usual. Pop fans are in for a treat because 98 Degrees, Hanson, and Gwen Stefani are all serving up albums full of holiday standbys, as well as new songs that you can jam to while you're decorating the tree. Because the holidays are already so full of tasks, we've rounded up all of the holiday albums that should be on your Christmas list this season, in one handy list.
