The charity album series, which has been raising money for Special Olympics since 1987, is releasing two albums in honor of the milestone featuring Christina Aguilera, Jordin Sparks, OneRepublic, Dave Matthews and many more.

A Very Special Christmas 25th Anniversary features Train covering “Joy To The World,” Michael Bublè doing his best impression of Bing Crosby on “It’s Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas,” and Cheap Trick, who turned their hit “I Want You To Want Me” into “I Want You For Christmas.”
