Originally crafted for 93.5 Sunny FM in Virginia, 93.5/102.7 FM: Holiday Hits 2005 mixes contemporary soft rock and popular artists together for a pleasant, inoffensive blend of modern and classic holiday favorites. Contributions include a baffling duet between pop diva Jessica Simpson and Rosie O'Donnell, a less-baffling duet with John Lennon and Yoko Ono singing their beautiful "Happy X-Mas (War is Over)," and Burl Ives singing with no one (and he really doesn't need to) with the childhood favorite "Holly Jolly Christmas." Ideal for those seeking out an alternative to run-of-the-mill, budget-line holiday compilations without sacrificing quality. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
