What I Really Want for Christmas is Brian Wilson's ninth official solo album and his first seasonal release. It was released by Arista Records in October 2005 and features many traditional Christmas songs, as well some of Wilson's originals, including remakes of The Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick" and "The Man with All the Toys". As a bonus, Wilson elected to include a sampling of seasonal recordings initially available on his website a few years earlier.

The album eventually peaked at #200 on the Billboard 200 chart in the US, with "Deck the Halls" becoming a surprise Top 10 Adult Contemporary hit.
