Let It Be Christmas is the eleventh studio album and the second Christmas album by American country music artist Alan Jackson. Unlike his first album of Christmas music (1993's Honky Tonk Christmas), this one is composed mainly of renditions of traditional Christmas music. It was released on October 22, 2002, by Arista Nashville. The title track, one of two Christmas songs composed by Jackson, was a top 40 hit for Jackson on the Hot Country Songs chart.
