- Not finding the Drifters classic recording?
If you're looking for the wonderful Doo-Wop classic recording of White Christmas by The Drifters, it's the feature track on the "White Christmas and Other Doo Wop Christmas Classics" CD, also available on Amazon.
Other CD versions:
Clyde McPhatter & the Drifters:
"Rockin' & Driftin' Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters"
- and -
"Soul Christmas"

- Unhappy Holidays...
If you're looking for the Drifters' classic '50s version of "White Christmas," look elsewhere. These are amateurish recent recordings by an anonymous-sounding group. The personnel isn't specified in the packaging, but I'd be very surprised if any members of the real Drifters had anything to do with these tracks.

- NO GOOD! Don't be fooled
Bad renditions. NOT the old classic Drifters, made famous by their cool old do-wop version of white christmas. Don't fall for this bad imitation.

- Don't waste your money
Not even worth buying used. Too "canned." None of the old Drifters' spirit is in this collection. Fuhgetaboutit!

- At least "O Holy Night" is superb
While the other reviewers are correct about this being mostly (or maybe even all) remakes, this version of "O Holy Night" is spectacular. I have attempted to determine if it is a remake by comparisons (listening back and forth between other sources) and finally decided that IF it is a remake then the artist did an unbelievable job of matching the original. It does sound remastered which may indicate a remake but either way this song will give you goose bumps. Listen for yourself and you will at least download "O Holy Night".
