The Sinatra Christnas Album is a Christmas themed studio album, released in September 1957, by Frank Sinatra. It is the seventeenth album in Sinatra's discography. Some of the tracks were recorded with The Ralph Brewer Singers. This album was Sinatra's second collaboration on a full album with arranger Gordon Jenkins.

While the album itself wasn't re-released in 2009, a separate holiday-themed compilation was released. This Capitol compilation, dubbed "The Christmas Collection," featured all the tracks of the original A Jolly Christmas as well as other holiday-themed singles Sinatra released during his Capitol years.

Reception
Allmusic gave the album an average score of three out of five stars, being one of the lowest scores given to Sinatra Capitol album. Coupled with Sinatra controversy on his singing of Christmas and holiday-themed songs, Jim Smith of Allmusic claimed that Sinatra's performance on the record was a "a distant, even slightly lackadaisical performance"
