Yuletide Joy is the 22nd studio and 3rd Christmas album by Christian singer Sandi Patty, released on October 11, 2005 by INO Records (later renamed Fair Trade Services)/Sony Music. Patty co-produced the album with Steve Potts.
Patty's 3rd Christmas album revisits some familiar holiday songs from her previous Christmas releases, such as the re-recordings of "Bethlehem Morning," "Star of Bethlehem" and "Worship the King" along with new tracks. Patty also does a parody of Barbra Streisand's "Jingle Bells" with a mix of musical styles. The original 1983 recording of "Merry Christmas With Love" (from The Gift Goes On) is included and then segues into a new full version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to close the album. Yuletide Joy debuted and peaked at number 40 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.
