Whitney Houston adds another landmark accomplishment to one of the most extraordinary careers in popular music with One Wish - The Holiday Album, her first collection of Christmas songs, a joyous mix of yuletide favourites from the traditional and contemporary songbooks, along with several new compositions.

Attention is sure to focus on Bobbi Kristina Brown, Houston's daughter, who makes her debut recording appearance on Little Drummer Boy. One Wish opens with a pair of evergreens, the classic The First Noel and Mel Torme's timeless The Christmas Song. The title track, an original composed by Gordon Chambers and Barry J. Eastmond, features a 23-piece string section. Houston spices up the album with soulful remakes of such evergreens as Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas and Joy To The World.
