Christmas of Hope is one of the best of the contemporary holiday records issued during the 1990s, largely as a result of its inclusion of much sought after material like
Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and
the Eagles' "Please Come Home for Christmas." Also included:
Mariah Carey's "Silent Night,"
Wynton Marsalis' "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" and
Aaron Neville's "The Bells of St. Mary's."
