If you are looking for a more urban/R&B holiday album, you might like Paris Bennett’s A Royal Christmas. 
Mind you, there are tracks that diverge from Paris’ style such as "12 Days of Christmas" (which is more of a throwback to the sounds of yesteryear) and "Away in a Manager" (has a real jazz influence to me).  There are some originals too so, if you enjoyed Paris on the fifth season of American Idol, you might really enjoy this!
Here is the track listing:

It’s Christmas Time
12 Day Of Christmas
Away in a Manger
Deck the Halls
God Rest Ye Merry

Wow. I really liked Paris Bennett and was sad when she was voted off last season. At just 17 she seemed mature, innovative, versatile and talented. Now she just seems like a vengeful betch!

She added that they “want to see [Sanjaya] win because it’ll kind of prove that American Idol is kind of losing its taste” since “it kinda isn’t going for talent anymore and more for popularity” (wow, …read more
