Selections range from standards whose origins are self-evident (“White Christmas” was made famous by the film of the same name, while “Frosty the Snowman” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” are from the respective television specials) to a few you may recognize without instantly recalling where they’re from: Remember “Christmas Treat,” from the “I Wish It Was Christmas Today” skit on “Saturday Night Live”? Or Phoenix’s cover of “Alone on Christmas Day” that was in “A Very Murray Christmas”?

Most are covers, which means you’ll have to go to YouTube to find Darlene Love sing “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on Letterman. (Now that the former late-night host has moved on to better, beardier things, that may have to become a tradition in and of itself.)
