The Jackson 5 Christmas Album was the only holiday album released by Motown family quintet The Jackson 5. Released in October, 1970, the album showcased the brothers' harmonies and vocals. Lead singer Michael Jackson is prominently featured on the album tracks. Included on the Christmas Album is the Jackson 5's hit single version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town". Rendered with a pop-soul feel, the Jackson 5 version of "Santa Claus" remains a frequent radio request during the holiday season.
