Christmas With Freda and Friends is an album of Christmas songs recorded by Freda Payne; it is her only Christmas album. While the album contains mostly cover songs of old Christmas standards, there are also four original songs ("What Is Christmas to You?" "Let's Have Christmas Everyday of the Year," "The Perfect Time of Year," and "What Christmas Means to Me"). The "friends" (including Payne's younger sister, Scherrie) in the album's title are the artists who are given chances to make some of the selections duets with Payne. Inside the album cover is a biographical essay on Payne's life and career by Charles Tolbert and her thank-you's.
