For those unaware, Gunnar and Matthew Nelson deliver a wonderful musical gift on October 14th, 2022 with A Nelson Family Christmas.

This all-new holiday collection holds over a dozen joyfully performed and caringly crafted renditions of Christmas standards, none of which are currently available digitally.

Making this album a true family affair, the multi-platinum-selling twin brothers also have included holiday tunes recorded by their father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Ricky Nelson, and their grandfather, big band star-turned-TV icon Ozzie Nelson.

The Nelsons, in fact, are the only family to ever have #1 hit songs across three generations!

2. This Christmas (Featuring Carnie and Wendy Wilson)
3. Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town
4. Jingle Bells (Performed By Ozzie Nelson & His Orchestra with Vocal Chorus By Ozzie and Harriet Nelson)
5. Oh Come All Ye Faithful
6. Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
7. Mele Kalikimaka
8. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on An Open Fire) (Performed By Ricky Nelson)
9. Away in a Manger
10. We Wish You a Merry Christmas
11. Jingle Bells (Ricky Nelson)
12. Blue Christmas
13. Holly Jolly Christmas
14. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
15. White Christmas
16. Jingle Bells
17. Silent Night

This oh-so pure, magnificently heavenly new holiday album opens on the free flowing fervency of Joy to the World and the melodically charming This Christmas (featuring Carnie and Wendy Wilson), a vibrantly joyous Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town, and then we get a lovely flashback to a bygone era with Jingle Bells performed by Ozzie Nelson & His Orchestra, with vocal chorus by Ozzie and Harriet Nelson), and a gently rambunctious Oh Come All Ye Faithful.

A most perfectly rhythmic Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree is along next and is backed in turn by the finger-snapping Mele Kalikimaka and then the tone is brought down for the sugary sweet ballad The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on An Open Fire), performed here by Ricky Nelson, the beautifully crafted Away in a Manger and then a heartwarming We Wish You a Merry Christmas is brought forth.

Up next is the cheerfully jubilant Jingle Bells by Ricky Nelson and then the lonesome ode within Blue Christmas is delivered, and that is then backed by the tambourine-imbibed Holly Jolly Christmas, a fun, quietly spirited Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, the recording rounding out with a velvety White Christmas, an atmospherically-charged Jingle Bells, coming to a close on the softly lush tones within Silent Night.
