A Christmas to Remember (1999)

Updated: Feb 4


A Christmas to Remember is the thirteenth studio and third Christmas album by Christian singer-songwriter Amy Grant, released on October 19, 1999 by Myrrh and A&M Records.


It is Grant's third Christmas album, and her first since 1992's Home for Christmas, featuring some traditional songs but mostly originals. The album is produced by Michael Omartian and with orchestral arrangements by Patrick Williams. An early release of the CD was sold exclusively at Target stores and featured a cover of The Carpenter's song "Merry Christmas Darling" as a hidden bonus track.


A primetime television special, Amy Grant: A Christmas to Remember, aired on the CBS network on December 15, 1999 to promote the album. Special guests include 98 Degrees, CeCe Winans and Tony Bennett. The album topped the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and climbed to number 36 on the Top 200 Albums and number 3 on the Top Holiday Albums charts. Notably, A Christmas to Remember was released just a couple of months after her divorce from Gary Chapman.
