Bluegrass & White Snow: A Mountain Christmas is the twelfth album of original recordings by country music artist Patty Loveless. The first half of the album comprises covers of well-known traditional Christmas tunes. There are new renditions of the familiar "Silver Bells" and "Christmas Time's a-Coming." There are also three new tunes, all co-written by Loveless and her producer-husband Emory Gordy, Jr.: "Santa Train," "Christmas Day at My House," and "Bluegrass, White Snow," the latter of which is supported by vocals from Dolly Parton and Ricky Skaggs. There is an instrumental track on the album, "Carol of the Bells." (This would be the first and only track on a Patty Loveless album on which Loveless herself is absent.) The album rose as high as #20 on the Billboard Top Country albums chart.
