Christmas is the first Christmas album by country band Alabama. The album was released on RCA Nashville in 1985. It was certified double platinum for shipment of 2 million units by the Recording Industry Association of America on July 11, 1996.[2] Since 1991 when SoundScan started to collate sales data, 515,300 copies have been sold in the United States.[3]
The album is Alabama's first Christmas album and includes one of their more popular holiday songs, 1982's "Christmas in Dixie," which charted on two of Billboard magazine's music popularity charts in six different calendar years.[4] "Christmas in Dixie" peaked at No. 35 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart in January 1983, and also reached No. 3 on Billboard's special, year-end, weekly Christmas Singles chart in December 1983.[4]
