Elvis Presley still holds the record for the best-selling Christmas album of all time, so Elvis Radio just asked fans to rank their favorites.

His original 1957 formula still carries on in the rankings: a combination of traditional Christmas carols, “pop” Christmas songs, spiritual gospel songs, and some bluesy rhythm and blues takes on Christmas love.

More than 5.2 million saw Christmas at Graceland live on NBC, and now it’s streaming on Peacock

Fans of the 2022 Elvis film saw Colonel Tom Parker wanted Presley’s 1968 NBC comeback special to be a Christmas special but it largely avoided Christmas until the very end.

This year, Elvis’s granddaughter Riley Keough did make a popular Christmas from Graceland special. It scored solid ratings (by modern standards) with 5.2 million viewers.

It won its timeslot and is scoring well in replays. It’s now streaming on Peacock and will run again on NBC just before Christmas:
