25 Songs of Christmas, Volume IIÂ is a compilation Christmas double album released in 1985 on Sparrow Record's Birdwing label. A sequel to the 1982 compilation album 25 Songs of Christmas, this collection once more contains some previously released songs and some new recordings by participating artists like Sheila Walsh, Steve Green, Michele Pillar, John Michael Talbot, Michael Card and many others. 25 Songs of Christmas, Volume II was issued in 1989 on CD. On the CD version, the tracks "O Thou That Tellest" by The London Philharmonic
Choir and "Hallelujah Jesus Is Born" by Scott Wesley Brown were omitted due to time constraints. The two tracks are now restored in a new playlist in its sequence order.
