RCA released an Elvis album containing new Christmas material that he had recorded earlier in the year. His original Christmas Album, released in 1957, continued to be a big seller annually with the public around this time of year. The only other time fans had a new "Christmas" song was when Elvis recorded "If Every Day Was Like Christmas" written by his close friend, Red West in 1966.
