James Taylor at Christmas is a Christmas album by singer/songwriter James Taylor, issued by Columbia Records in 2006.

The album is essentially a reissue (with a new title and slightly altered track listing) of James Taylor: A Christmas Album, a limited edition title distributed by Hallmark Cards in 2004.

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (originally issued on Taylor's October Road in 2002) and "River" were not included in the original Hallmark album. Additionally, the original album featured a version of "Deck the Halls" which is not on the standard Columbia CD. (The Barnes & Noble chain has, however, issued a version of the new title with "Deck the Halls" included as a bonus track).
