Of course, Santa Claus Hides In The Phonograph! (I only have the Ernest Hare version though)
Bing Crosby Christmas is fun to play on mid century radio phono consoles.
Same with Gene Autry’s “Here Comes Santa Claus”
I wish I had Christmas material on cylinder and diamond disc but those commend a premium price!

Re: What are your favorite Christmas 78 records?
Thanks for adding songs and records, this is a fabulous way to learn about new recordings for Christmas. Many of these songs and recordings are totally new to me, and it is also an excellent way to make a wish list.
I will myself upload some Scandinavian Christmas 78 recordings in the next few days, realizing they are not on YouTube or elsewhere online, so I had to add them myself.

Re: What are your favorite Christmas 78 records?
I have always had a particular liking for The Birthday of a King, since it was one of the standard Christmas solos my grandfather sang at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in NYC when he was baritone soloist there.VanEpsFan1914 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 9:47 am
The Birthday of a King (this is a good one too)

Re: What are your favorite Christmas 78 records?
I was able to find two Christmas songs, that are both very popular in Norway. One of them is Norwegian, the other has German origin.
1. Jeg er så glad hver julekveld ( I am so happy every Christmas eve)
2. Deilig er Jorden ( from German: «Schönster Herr Jesu, Herrscher alle Herren» )

Two of my favourites are “Cantique de Noel” by Enrico Caruso and “At the Christmas Ball” by Bessie Smith.
Early best wishes to all for a happy healthy and joyous holiday season!

Here's an obscure, but lovely, song: "la Noël des Matelots":

And this one is fun, because it includes a plug for the Edison Phonograph, with sound clip: "Christmas morning With the Kiddies":

Re: What are your favorite Christmas 78 records?
I was just shuffling through some records this very day and found a copy of "Memories of Christmas pt. 1 and 2" by Prince's Orchestra on Columbia. Can't remember when I last played it. But I'm going to pretty soon. It's still too early to be talking about Christmas.

Not exactly everyone's idea of Christmas classics, but these records get a spin every holiday season in our home.

Re: What are your favorite Christmas 78 records?
A childhood favourite of mine. In a jazz vein- Paul Whiteman's "Christmas Night In Harlem" on either the original scroll Victor or the Bluebird reissue. Jack Teagarden and Johnny Mercer do the vocal chores !! Jack does a trombone solo !!
