Ashanti's Christmas is the third studio album and first Christmas album by American singer Ashanti, released on November 18, 2003, by The Inc. Records. The album debuted and peaked at No. 160 on the Billboard 200 and No. 43 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album contained almost an equal number of new songs, written by Ashanti herself, and covers of Christmas classics. As for singles, Ashanti released a Christmas Medley which featured the songs "Christmas Time Again", "The Christmas Song", and "Hey Santa". A video was shot for the medley and it received moderate rotation on BET and MTV. A reworked version of the original song "Time of Year" would later appear on Ashanti's second Christmas album, A Wonderful Christmas with Ashanti.
