Home For Christmas is Daryl Hall & John Oates' first full length album of Christmas music. It was released in the USA on October 3rd, 2006. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of this album goes to Toys for Tots. It is only available at Trans World Entertainment music stores.

Previously, the duo released a promotional only single called "Jingle Bell Rock" in the early 1980's that had each of them separately singing the lead vocals on either side of the 45. The version of "Jingle Bell Rock" on this album is different than those 2 versions.

This album features two new songs written by Hall & Oates: "No Child Should Ever Cry on Christmas" and "Home for Christmas."

It includes a version of "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear", which became their second number one Adult Contemporary hit. ^[1]
