Carpenters fans can light the tree to Christmas Once More, a 2024 holiday collection that gives the duo's festive recordings a fresh polish.

Richard Carpenter curated sixteen songs from the siblings' beloved holiday recordings, much of it from the sessions behind 1978's Christmas Portrait and 1984's An Old-Fashioned Christmas, all in new mixes. The result trims the sprawl of those original albums into a single, beautifully paced listen.

Sleigh Ride gallops along on bright orchestral flourishes, while The Christmas Waltz shows off the lush, cinematic arrangements that Richard built around his sister. (There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays has the cosy, fireside swing of a classic television special, and Merry Christmas, Darling appears in its version with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, adding sweeping strings to the duo's own festive standard. Ave Maria closes the record on a note of quiet reverence.

Karen's contralto has always sounded as if she were standing right beside the listener, unhurried and impossibly rich. Hearing it framed by Richard's arrangements in fresh mixes is a reminder of why these songs still return every December.

In households where the Carpenters are as much a tradition as the tinsel, this is the record that goes on first.
