Ultra-Lounge Christmas Cocktails is a fitting title for my final selection as it’s everything you imagine 50’s and 60’s “adult pop” to be and is a perfect martini-and-mistletoe combo. Christmas Cocktails is a bit more traditional but more in a Dean Martin kind of way than you’re used to. A handful of instrumental big-band numbers and more than a few quirky cheesy classics, fill this album making it ?garishly retro and naughtily nostalgic? and one of my favorites. From Peggy Lee and Julie London to Lou Rawls and Nat ?King? Cole, Christmas Cocktails covers all the best in nostalgic and occasionally campy holiday fare. Perfect for that “no-kids-allowed” holiday party where entertaining & injecting “kitschy” ambiance into your holiday festivities is a must. Be sure to check out Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer Mambo and I?d Like You for Christmas. For best results, mix Volumes 1,2 and 3 with the other albums mentions, throw in a little Wintersong by Sarah McLachlan and your favorite Christmas movies and you’re have a wonderful Holiday season.
