Home For Christmas is the eighteenth studio album by Hall & Oates, and their first full-length album of Christmas music. It was released in the US on October 3, 2006. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of this album goes to Toys for Tots. It was only available at Trans World Entertainment music stores in 2006, but has since become available at all retail outlets.

Previously, the duo released a promotional only single called "Jingle Bell Rock" in the early 1980s that had each of them separately singing the lead vocals on either side of the 45. The version of "Jingle Bell Rock" on this album is different from those two versions.Шаблон:Citation needed

This album features two new songs written by Hall & Oates: "No Child Should Ever Cry on Christmas" and "Home for Christmas".

It includes a version of "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear", which became their second number one Adult Contemporary hit.

This is the final Hall & Oates album to feature bassist Tom "T-Bone" Wolk before his death in 2010 of a heart attack. Wolk was on every Hall and Oates album since 1982's H₂O album.
