Parents need to know that if you're looking for a great Christmas CD for your kids and their older tweeny-bopper siblings, this Disney Channel compilation has age-appropriate lyrics that will get you and your kids into the spirit of the holidays. The CD is centered on Christmas, and other winter holidays aren't mentioned.

DISNEY CHANNEL HOLIDAY is jam-packed with a variety of 14 original and classic Christmas favorites sung by some of Disney's hottest young stars like Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus ("Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"), High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale ("Last Christmas") and Corbin Bleu ("This Christmastime"), and The Cheetah Girls with their usual harmonious perky pop ("Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"). Disney doesn't disappoint with these well-crafted, candy-coated tracks. Don't be surprised if you find yourself truly impressed by the talent that is brought together on this CD, including the punky original "Girl of My Dreams" by the Jonas Brothers and Jordan Pruitt's "Celebrate Love," which could warm your toes on a snowy sleigh ride. No doubt Disney Channel Holiday's upbeat, catchy Christmas carols will have everyone excited for the season.
