Scotty McCreery celebrates the holidays with his 2012 seasonal set, Christmas with Scotty McCreery. Working again with producer Mark Bright, who helmed the American Idol winner's 2011 debut, McCreery sings many familiar standards on this 11-track album -- "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!," "Jingle Bells," "Winter Wonderland," "The Christmas Song," "Santa Claus Is Back in Town" -- and also finds space for the gospel "Mary Did You Know" and two new songs in "Christmas Comin' Round Again" and "Christmas in Heaven.,"

All Music Guide - Stephen Thomas Erlewine
As a reality television star with an unabashedly square persona, Scotty McCreery is an ideal candidate for a Christmas album and Christmas with Scotty McCreery arrives earlier in his career than may be expected, appearing almost exactly a year after his 2011 debut, Clear as Day. This may be a tad speedy but a festive collection is a softball pitch up the middle for McCreery, one that the cornpone singer can hit clear out of the park. And he does, not bothering to reinvent these 11 songs and instead singing the familiar in a friendly manner. The album leans slightly toward secular standards -- "Let It Snow," "Holly Jolly Christmas," "Jingle Bells," "Winter Wonderland" -- but there is an undercurrent of spirituality arriving on "Mary Did You Know?," "Christmas in Heaven," and "First Noel." Nevertheless, this isn't a somber record by any means; it's a seasonal celebration, so familiar it almost follows a certain ritual. There's the cheer balanced by a moment of poignancy to remind us all why we're joyous, finally closing on an up note. In this case, it's McCreery doing a surprisingly credible approximation of a rocker on "Santa Claus Is Back in Town." He may sully it a bit with an on-the-nose Elvis Presley impersonation, but that only reinforces how McCreery is first and foremost a TV star who is eager to please.
