The Perry Como Christmas AlbumisPerry Como's 15th RCA Victor 12" long-play album.^[2]^[3]

Como is accompanied on the album by the Ray Charles Singers and an orchestra arranged and conducted by Nick Perito. On two songs, "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", boy choristers from the Little Church Around the Corner and from Saint Thomas Church (Manhattan) also participated.

Como also recorded a rendition of the Wihla Hutson-Alfred Burt composition "Some Children See Him" during the sessions, but this was omitted from the finished album, presumably due to space limitations.^[2] The track remained unreleased until its inclusion on a 1999 CD compilation of Como Christmas recordings.
