    Released: 23 October 2006

Navidades (transl.Christmas) is the 17th studio album by Mexican singer Luis Miguel, which Warner Music Latina released on 14 November 2006. It is Miguel's first Christmas album, and features Spanish-language adaptations of English-language songs and carols consisting of big band numbers and string-laden ballads. Édgar Cortázar and Juan Carlos Calderón adapted the songs and Miguel produced the album. To promote Navidades, "Mi Humilde Oración" ("Grown-Up Christmas List") and "Santa Claus Llegó a la Ciudad" ("Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town") were simultaneously released as lead singles, and Luis Miguel performed two tracks from the album on the set list on the third leg of his México En La Piel Tour (2005–07) in November and December 2006.

Upon its release, Navidades received mostly mixed reviews from music critics. While commending Luis Miguel's vocals and the album's musical styles, reviewers were divided on the adaptations. Navidades was nominated as Best Latin Pop Album at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards (2008), and Latin Pop Album of the Year by a Male Artist at the 2007 Latin Billboard Music Awards. The album reached number one in Mexico and on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in the United States, and the top ten in Argentina and Spain. It was the first Spanish-language album since 1966 to rank on the Billboard Top Holiday Albums. By November 2015, the record had sold over 1.1 million copies.
