This Christmas is the thirty-ninth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin. Initially a Borders Bookstore exclusive, it was reissued in 2009 on DMI Records.

It is her first ever Christmas album. Having failed to launch her own Detroit-based label, Aretha's Records, she chose to release this album on DMI Records. The album peaked at #102 on the Billboard album chart. As of January 2013, it had reportedly sold 142,864 copies in the United States (citation needed).
