Retro Christmas enjoyment
For baby boomers who remember these tunes and renditions, it is a great CD. This music helped me recall Christmases as a child with my family in the 1950's and 1960's - especially the silver tree with the illuminated color wheel.The music quality is good, the performances are classic.

classic Christmas tunes by the greats
Ultra Lounge Presents Best of Christmas Cocktails is a great CD; you get many classic Christmas tunes by great vocalists all remastered carefully to sound as good as they could ever sound. The quality of the sound is therefore excellent; and quite a few singers are featured on this album.Peggy Lee's "Happy Holiday" starts the album off with a snazzy, jazzy rendition of this classic Christmas tune. The percussion is great and Peggy never sounded better! Listen also for Dean Martin to deliver "Winter Wonderland" with panache and a certain boyish excitement that really is infectious! Moreover, Billy May's "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" sports that late 1950s/early 1960s Latin flavor--it's more than enough to keep you toasty warm both inside and out!I really like Bing Crosby's "Frosty The Snowman;" Bing delivers this perfectly and his excellent diction bolsters his performance. The backup vocalists on "Frosty The Snowman" make the number even better! Lena Horne delivers a heavenly rendition of "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" as only she could. "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" uses the brass, strings and percussion very well."Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" gets the royal treatment from Wayne Newton who delivers this with great sensitivity; and Julie London sings a silky smooth "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm."The liner notes have great artwork and we get the song credits as well. Awesome!Overall, any fan of Christmas music is sure to love this album. You get hit after hit after hit without a single dud in the bunch. Get this today and enjoy it--`tis the season!

Christmas Music with a fun twist
I really like this CD. When I am sick to death of hearing the same old same old of Christmas music this is a nice change.

Time capsule
Amo da sempre questa collezione di titoli Capitol dedicata alla musica lounge vintage e non potevo farmi mancare anche il best tratto dai CD a tema natalizio usciti finora. Consiglio vivamente agli appassionati del genere su CD di approfittare delle offerte di Amazon, poiché la serie continua ad esistere solo online e non più su supporto fisico. I CD UltraLounge stanno per diventare pezzi da collezione sempre più rari. Buon ascolto e buon relax.
