{"product_id":"jimmy-buffett-christmas-island","title":"Jimmy Buffett - Christmas Island","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristmas Island is Jimmy Buffett trading the snow for sand, a 1996 holiday album that treats the season as another excuse for a beach party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuffett spent his career turning island escapism into a lifestyle, and this record applies the same trick to Christmas, reworking familiar standards with island rhythms and his unhurried drawl. Ten songs mix holiday classics with originals he co-wrote, and the mood throughout is warm, laid-back and a little sunburned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track sets the scene on a sandy shoreline, A Sailor's Christmas steers the mood toward the nautical and nostalgic, Mele Kalikimaka brings the Hawaiian holiday greeting to life with exactly the lightness it deserves, and Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rhum is the cheeky one, a seasonal toast with a Caribbean twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuffett, who died in 2023, left behind a devoted fan base that has kept his music in rotation every year, and this holiday record fits neatly among the beach anthems. It is cheerful, a little silly and never in a hurry, ideal for anyone whose Christmas involves flip-flops, a hammock or at least a daydream of both. Put it on, pour something cold, and let the sleigh bells jingle in the sunshine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47879583400241,"sku":"602458571325","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Jimmy_Buffett-Christmas_Island.jpg?v=1791526748","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/jimmy-buffett-christmas-island","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
