“O Holy Night”

After he performed it in concert, a recording of Groban singing “O, Holy Night” was released as a single in 2001 and on the concert album in 2002.

“Believe”

For the movie from 2004 The Polar Expressabout a young boy who travels to the North Pole and meets Santa Claus, Groban recorded the song “Believe”, which was available on the soundtrack. “When we seem lost, we find ourselves again on Christmas Day,” the lyrics read.

A year later, Groban’s first greatest hits album included a Spanish version of “Silent Night”, “Noche de Paz”.

For the album’s 10th anniversary in 2017, Groban released a Deluxe Edition of Christmas with four new songs plus “O, Holy Night” and “Believe”. The new additions were:

  1. “White Christmas”
  2. “Christmas is here”
  3. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”
  4. “Merry Christmas (The War Is Over)”

“Do you hear what I hear?”

Just this year, Groban returned to the holiday genre, teaming up with the band The War and Treaty to record “Do You Hear What I Hear?”

“I’ve been in awe of Michael and Tanya’s voices ever since I first heard The War and Treaty. We first met at the Stand Up for Heroes charity concert and it was here that I learned about their incredible history and service to our country. We promised we’d find the right song to collaborate on, and we’re so excited to sing a Christmas song we’ve all loved since we were little,” Groban said of the new recording, per Broadway World. “We wanted to give it a new and fresh interpretation and I love what came out of it. Singing with them is an experience I will always cherish and I hope everyone loves it as much as we did in the studio.”
