A Classic Christmas is the second Christmas album from American country music singer-songwriter Toby Keith. Released in 2007, the album comprises two discs (though all the songs could easily fit onto one CD). While his previous Christmas album, 1995's Christmas to Christmas, was composed of original songs, Keith recorded 20 Christmas standards for A Classic Christmas.
