Christmas with The Chipmunks was released in 1962 and features 12 tracks. The album peaked at #33 on Billboard's Best Christmas Album chart on December 25, 1965. The tracks from this album and its follow-up, Christmas with The Chipmunks Vol. 2, have remained in circulation since their original releases. However, since the late 1980s, the cover art of Volume 2 has been mistakenly swapped with Volume 1, while the volume numbers and track listings remain unchanged. Both albums have been combined and reissued multiple times, making these songs the most recognized in the Chipmunk catalog. The latest version available is a 2012 re-release titled Chipmunks Christmas.
