Garth Brooks loves Christmas so much that he has released four Christmas albums in his career, starting with Beyond The Season. It was a huge hit selling over 3 million copies by 1995. The album was released on August 25, 1992.
Brooks then released Garth Brooks & the Magic of Christmas on November 23, 1999, then re-released the project with some new songs added to it and called it Garth Brooks & the Magic of Christmas: Call Me Claus on September 25, 2001.
Garth’s latest holiday effort was with his wife Trisha Yearwood, which was called Christmas Together and was released on November 11, 2016.
We did a deep listen and came up with a 13-song ranking of what we believe are Brooks’ very best Christmas songs.
13. “The Old Man’s Back In Town” (1992)

This song was co-written by Garth and makes our list at number 13.
12. “O Little Town Of Bethlehem” (1999)

We just adore Garth’s version of this classic song. He really makes it his own.
11. "The Gift" (1992)

An original song by Nashville songwriter Stephanie Davis. The melody and the story are so tender and just right for the holiday.
10. "(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays" (1999)

We love the pace of this version and his solid vocal start.
9. "Let It, Snow! Let It, Snow! Let It Snow!" (1992)

Brooks’ version is delightful complete with a choir of background singers just makes me smile.
8. “Call Me Claus" (Garth Brooks, Lisa Sanderson, Jenny Yates) (2001)

This is another original song co-written by Garth, and it is quite rocking. Two minutes and eight seconds of pure Santa joy.
7. "'Zat You, Santa Claus?" (Jack Fox) (2001)

The song was first recorded by jazz legend Louis Armstrong in 1953. At first, Garth’s version sounds a bit weird, but try listening to it a few times, you won’t get it out of your mind. Brooks’ gritty performance of the song is right on target.
6. "Go Tell It on the Mountain" (1992)

A holiday classic that is over 100 years old. Brooks’ version, along with Nashville’s Christ Church Choir, is one of the best versions of this song.
5. "Baby, It's Cold Outside" (with Trisha Yearwood) (2016)

In Garth and Trisha’s version, you can hear their closeness. It’s not really a surprise, but it’s worth noting that they just sound so good together.
4. "Marshmallow World" (with Trisha Yearwood) (2016)

An upbeat, fun Christmas song that Garth and Trisha just nail. Yeah, it’s time for hot chocolate!
3. "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" (1999)

Brooks’ vocals are so pure on this song. It’s the perfect song to bring in the holiday season.
2. "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy" (1992)

This is a classic Buck Owens song released in the mid-1960s, and several country stars like Brad Paisley have covered it. Brooks’ version is wonderful, and he actually sounds just like Buck does in the original version.
1. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" (1992)

Wow, Garth just slams this song. It’s the second song on his first Christmas album, Beyond The Season. He sings with such conviction, so smoothly and with such emotion, and that’s part of the reason it tops the list.
