Christmas with The Jets


Christmas with The Jets is the second studio album by Tongan-American family band The Jets, released on November 30, 1986, by MCA Records. It is also their first and only Christmas album to date. Unlike many other holiday albums, it does not include any covers of staple Christmas songs from the past; all are original compositions.
Although a single from this album was not released at the time, "Christmas In My Heart" would appear on the B-side of their single, "Anytime" two years later in 1988. Another notable track includes "Somewhere Out There" from the animated film An American Tail which was also recorded and released by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram at the same time to become a hit for the duo a few months later in 1987. Rupert Holmes penned "You Make It Christmas" after previously contributing "You Got It All" to The Jets' first album, and would also write the previously mentioned "Anytime" for their next.
