The album was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, California, in 1957, produced by Voyle Gilmore. It is Frank Sinatra's first Christmas album and one of the most iconic of his career.
The orchestration was handled by Gordon Jenkins, who arranged the songs with a warm and festive style. The record includes classics such as 'Jingle Bells' and 'Silent Night', and was an immediate commercial success.
Over time, 'A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra' has become a staple of Christmas music, reissued in multiple formats and remaining one of the best-selling holiday albums.
