Garth Brooks loves Christmas so much that he has released four Christmas albums in his career, starting with Beyond The Season. It was a huge hit selling over 3 million copies by 1995. The album was released on August 25, 1992.

Brooks then released Garth Brooks & the Magic of Christmas on November 23, 1999, then re-released the project with some new songs added to it and called it Garth Brooks & the Magic of Christmas: Call Me Claus on September 25, 2001.

Garth’s latest holiday effort was with his wife Trisha Yearwood, which was called Christmas Together and was released on November 11, 2016.

We did a deep listen and came up with a 13-song ranking of what we believe are Brooks’ very best Christmas songs.
