The Sinatra Family Wish You a Merry Christmas is a 1968 Christmas album by Frank Sinatra and featuring his children, Frank Sinatra, Jr., Nancy Sinatra and Tina Sinatra.

Contents

The album was released on vinyl LP, reel to reel, and 8-track, and was out of print for decades before being re-released on CD in 1999 by Artanis Entertainment Group.

Frank, Sr., Nancy and Tina recorded their contributions in the studio together. Frank, Jr. was away on tour, and added his singing later to the pre-recorded tracks. The closing song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, has different lyrics sung by Sinatra's children honoring their father with their gifts to him, with their father singing the last lyrics and the rest solo.
