Christmas Records - (For the Love of Vinyl) - Episode 11

FOR THE LOVE OF VINYL Presented by A to Z Media (atozmedia.com)

What makes a Christmas record timeless? Why do holiday albums outsell almost everything else on vinyl every December? And which Christmas records are actually worth owning?

In this festive episode of For the Love of Vinyl, host Scott Orr is joined by Terry Cole of Colemine Records and Plaid Room Records (Loveland, Ohio) for a deep dive into the world of Christmas records. From Vince Guaraldi and Bing Crosby to Michael Bublé, Phil Spector, and soul Christmas classics, Scott and Terry unpack why holiday records remain one of the most powerful rituals in vinyl culture.

They explore:

Why Christmas records sell at a completely different scale than regular vinyl
The best-selling Christmas albums of all time (and the surprises)
Underrated holiday records every collector should know
Original vs. traditional Christmas songs—and why originals are so hard to pull off
Whether Christmas albums are a smart investment for indie artists and labels
How record stores prepare all year for a few short weeks of holiday madness

Along the way, you’ll hear personal favorites, controversial takes (yes, Wonderful Christmastime comes up), behind-the-scenes retail data, and why Christmas music might be the most “evergreen” genre of them all.
