Happy Holiday is a 1955 Christmas album of Christmas songs and carols by Jo Stafford, accompanied by her husband Paul Weston and his orchestra. The entire family participated in the creation of this album; young Tim Weston is the small boy on the cover.[2] Stafford is also joined by The Starlighters for vocal background, just as she was after her version of The Chesterfield Supper Club moved to Hollywood.[2][3][4]
All of the tracks from the album, along with those from Stafford's 1956 Ski Trails album, are included on the 1999 compilation Happy Holidays: I Love the Winter Weather, released on Stafford and Weston's Corinthian Records label.
