1. “Wrapped in Red” by Kelly Clarkson

New-mom-to-be Kelly Clarkson has plenty to celebrate this season, and her new Christmas album, "Wrapped in Red," brings plenty of cheer. The superstar sites the 1954 holiday movie classic “White Christmas” as an inspiration for her album, as well as Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. The album includes an array of standards and a new holiday hit, “Underneath the Tree.” $9

2. “Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas” by the Robertsons

Fans of “Duck Dynasty” will rejoice with this collection of holiday tunes sung with varying levels of skill by the Robertson clan, including versions of  “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Silent Night.” Country star George Strait makes an appearance, as does Alison Krauss, Josh Turner and Luke Bryan–who sings a duet of  “Hairy Christmas” (get it?) with Duck Commander CEO Willie Robertson. $7

3. “Photograph” collectors’ edition book by Ringo Starr

For the Beatles fan on your list (and who doesn’t have one of those?) Ringo Starr’s book, “Photograph,” features hundreds of candid photos he took early in his career, along with ephemera his mother had saved from the early days of Beatlemania.

“She was such a hoarder,” said Ringo. “When she died, I just took her boxes and put them in our attic; I didn't really look at them. When we opened them up, we found some incredible stuff.” The collectors’ edition of “Photograph” is signed by Ringo himself. $565

4. HB super by hoodiebuddies

If someone on your gift list enjoys music and exercise but hates lugging around a phone, get them a hoodie with built-in headphones!

Victoria’s Secret supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio and actress Anne Hathaway are both fans. $54-80

In her follow-up to 1999’s platinum smash, “Joy: A Holiday Collection,” Jewel sings a variety of seasonal standards, including a duet of  “White Christmas” with Vince Gill.

"The great thing about Christmas music is I can cover a lot of territory, from country to jazz style vocals to classical music, arias,” Jewel told Billboard. “And it's fun writing Christmas music; you get to write in a more classic style and not have to think about current radio or current trends.” $13

6. “Home for Christmas” by Susan Boyle

Susan Boyle won hearts across the globe with her surprising performance on “Britain’s Got Talent” back in 2009, and her latest Christmas album will likely hit a soft spot as well.
