About

"Christmas in my heart" was the first album of Christmas music released by Sarah Connor. The lead single was the title track which peaked at #4 on the German charts.

The album was a mix of traditional, though jazzed up, English standards and German songs in English for the first time. There was a bit of an outcry over Sarah turning the German standards into English songs but the album was well-received nonetheless peaking at #6 on the German charts.

In 2006 after a baby break Sarah decided to reissue "Christmas in my heart" with a new lead single "Best side of life". "The Best side of life" was featured in Coca Cola's German Christmas promotional campaign. The single reached #4 on the German charts. The reissue didn't fare as well, however, debuting at #49 on the German charts. On the same date Sarah also released a concert DVD of her performing the Christmas tunes under the same name as the album.
