The Sweetest Gift is a Christmas album by country singer Trisha Yearwood and is her fourth album overall. Yearwood sings a mixture of familiar traditional and popular material, along with more recent compositions such as "It Wasn't His Child" and "There's a New Kid in Town". Two of its tracks managed to achieve positions near the lower end of the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart: "It Wasn't His Child" rose to #60, and "Reindeer Boogie" rose to #63. The album rose to the #17 position in the Country Albums chart. A later re-release of the album has a different album cover.
