A man in a white cowboy hat and a woman in a white blouse are embracing, with the man's hand on the woman's face.

Merry Christmas Strait To You is George Strait’s first ever Christmas album, released in 1986, and we still love it. The eighth track on the album is a great homage to his Texas roots, and sweeps us along with a cheerful and upbeat tune.

"When It's Christmas Time In Texas" landed at the 58th chart position, bringing Strait's album into the Top 20 chart during its premier holiday season. The song is a fun and easy-listening look at Christmas staples like snow and Santa Claus.

Strait, whose began his career in the late '70s, has earned himself a staggering number of successful albums, 60 No. 1 hits, and has sold more than 100 million records throughout the world. He is the 12th best-selling recording artist in the United States today, which is definitely saying something!
