Garth Brooks & the Magic of Christmas is the second holiday album by American country music artist Garth Brooks. It was released on November 23, 1999, peaked at #7 on the Billboard 200 chart, and #1 on the Top Country Albums chart. Two years after this album's release, Brooks released a reissue of this album, Songs from Call Me Claus, which contained most of the songs from this release. The only tracks which weren't carried over were "White Christmas," "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," and "Go Tell It on the Mountain" (all of which are remixed versions of the same songs from his first Christmas album, Beyond The Season).
