Upbeat tracks like "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and "Frosty the Snowman" are driven by lively rhythms and buoyant basslines, while slower songs such as "The Christmas Song" offer a smoother, more soulful texture.

There's not much else that's more on point for the Christmas season than the powerful voice of 12-year-old Michael Jackson leading his siblings in song. Pop standards like "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" have rarely been delivered with more spirit, soul or enthusiasm than on this 1970 Motown release. Possibly because some of the band are still at the age when they're hoping St. Nick will be filling their stockings.
