Britney Spears

Britney Spears is back! And the only thing that could make her fans even happier this Christmas present (and future) is a Christmas album filled with tracks from the pop queen herself. But for now, everyone will have to settle for just 1 song found on 2 different compilation CDs: Spears sings "My Only Wish (This Year)" on "My Pop Christmas" (2012) and on "NOW Christmas Vol. 4" (2010).

Lady Gaga

Despite her outlandish outfits and outspoken lyrics and political stances, Lady Gaga is a very traditional family-oriented woman. The heart of her 2011 televised Thanksgiving special showed a softer, more traditional side of the pop star (though she still showed off her flair for the dramatic and wore plenty of some wild fashions). And songs she performed on the show gave us "A Very Gaga Holiday" Christmas-themed CD soundtrack. But did you know Lady Gaga also has another Christmas-themed song "Christmas Tree" ...but its edgy lyrics are more suited for adults. She recently collaborated on a 2013 holiday special with the Muppets.

Justin Bieber

While many tweens and teens probably have "Justin Bieber" listed on their holiday wish list, you can appease them with Justin's all Christmas CD from 2011 "Under The Mistletoe." The 11-song album is a mix of familiar Christmas standards as well as new holiday-themed songs --many co-written by Justin himself.

Taylor Swift

Taylor is a real Christmas baby: she was actually born in December ON a Christmas Tree farm. What was most likely on Taylor's wish list for Santa as a kid? A recording contract that says eh can write her own songs! [True story: Taylor turned down one --when she was JUST 14-- that didn't let her write and sing her own songs.] Taylor is the youngest person ever to solely write and sing a No. 1 country song for "Our Song," and she already has her own Christmas album on the market, "Taylor Swift Holiday Collection" released in 2007 and recorded when she was only 17.

Kellie Pickler

Kellie Pickler, in 2012, showed her fans and the world the real meaning of Christmas: unselfish love. The country star shaved her blonde hair down to a buzz cut to show her support for her best friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo chemotherapy. For her fans who missed her belting out "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" in 2011's TV special "CMA Country Christmas," you can listen to Pickler sing the same song on "A Very Country Christmas" and make sure to also grab the CD "Hear Something Country Christmas" (2007) for her rendition of the cute classic "Santa Baby."

Selena Gomez

Before she was even 21, and known more for her kid TV roles, pop star Selena Gomez was already on a Christmas album "NOW Today's Christmas" (2012) alongside such singing heavyweights as Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga. Now, Gomez can be considered a pop star in her own right.

This country super star was performing professionally by the age of 13, around the same time as this adorable photo. On Christmas Day, Paisley and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, from the "Father of the Bride" films with Steve Martin, are most likely to be singing Paisley's single "364 Days To Go" from his holiday CD "Brad Paisley Christmas."
