James Taylor at Christmas is a Christmas album by singer/songwriter James Taylor, released by Columbia Records in 2006. It was his last release for Columbia since signing with them back in 1977.

Untitled

The album is essentially a reissue (with a new title and slightly altered track listing) of James Taylor: A Christmas Album, a limited edition title distributed by Hallmark Cards in 2004. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", originally issued on Taylor's October Road in 2002, and "River" were not included on the original Hallmark release. Additionally, the original album featured a version of "Deck the Halls" which is not on the standard Columbia CD. (The Barnes & Noble chain has, however, issued a version of the new title with "Deck the Halls" included as a bonus track).

This album was reissued on the UMe label on October 30, 2012, with the addition of two tracks. One of them, "Mon Beau Sapin" (a French translation of "O Christmas Tree"), is a new recording and is only available on this album. The other track new to the collection is Taylor's version of George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun", featuring Yo-Yo Ma, which originally appeared on the album Songs of Joy & Peace' in 2008.
