{"product_id":"one_wish_the_holiday_album","title":"One Wish - The Holiday Album","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne Wish: The Holiday Album is Whitney Houston’s only Christmas album and is counted as her sixth studio album, released by Arista Records on November 18, 2003. Arriving a year after her 2002 comeback Just Whitney, it gathers 11 tracks (43 minutes) that place her voice over mostly traditional, gently modernized arrangements of classic holiday standards. Chiefly produced by Mervyn Warren with additional work from Troy Taylor, Gordon Chambers, and Barry Eastmond, the album balances lush orchestration, subtle R\u0026amp;B rhythms, and gospel touches, and it includes a duet with her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown on “Little Drummer Boy.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe track list features well‑known carols such as “The First Noël,” “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire),” “Deck the Halls\/Silent Night,” “O Come O Come Emmanuel,” “Cantique de Noël (O Holy Night),” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” interpreted with Houston’s characteristic melismatic phrasing and soaring climaxes. It also folds in two songs from The Preacher’s Wife soundtrack—“Who Would Imagine a King” and her exuberant, choir‑driven “Joy to the World”—connecting this project back to her earlier gospel‑influenced work. The album’s lone single, a new rendition of Freddie Jackson’s “One Wish (For Christmas),” reached the top 20 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart, and while critical reception was mixed (with some praising the warm, intimate production and others noting her voice sounded more weathered), the record went on to be certified Gold in the United States and is now often cited by fans as an underrated, cozy showcase for her late‑career vocals during the holidays.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53788518252858,"sku":"39505","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD \/ Album","offer_id":53788518318394,"sku":"39506","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-07-24_at_7.26.55_PM.jpeg?v=1784935804","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/one_wish_the_holiday_album","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
