Not content to let Mariah Carey have all of the holiday music fun this year, the producers of Glee have announced the upcoming release of a holiday album titled Glee: The Music – The Christmas Album. As you can imagine, this new collection of holiday music comes complete with many of your traditional faves plus a few unconventional songs all in that Glee style that every is crazy about. Here is our first look at the album artwork for Glee‘s first Xmas album along with text from the press release announcement for the album, which includes info about tonight’s Rocky Horror Picture Show episode:

Glee decks the halls and gets you in the holiday spirit early with the release of Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album, available Tuesday November 16, 2010. The Glee cast sprinkle a little Christmas cheer with their dazzling renditions of such holiday classics as “We Need A Little Christmas,” “O Holy Night,” “Jingle Bells” and a very special Dr. Seuss inspired “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” featuring Grammy Award winner k.d. lang (see full track listing below). This special Glee Christmas episode airs Tuesday, December 7, at 8:00 pm et/pt on FOX. The music from Glee continues to set sales records; recently Glee surpassed The Beatles 52 year record for the most Billboard Hot 100 chart appearances of a non-solo act in one year. Glee: The Music, The Rocky Horror Show was released last week and immediately soared to #1 on iTunes Top Albums chart. Glee: The Music, Volume 3 Showstoppers recently received an American Music Award nomination for Best Soundtrack Album, the 38th annual ceremony will take place on November 21 at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. On tonight’s Rocky Horror Glee Show episode (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), Will (Matthew Morrison) decides to have the glee club perform “The Rocky Horror Show” for the annual school musical after learning of Emma’s (Jayma Mays) newfound love for the cult classic. Despite Sue’s (Jane Lynch) usual scheming, the members of New Directions inject their distinctive style to such timeless tracks as “The Time Warp” and “Damn It, Janet.”

I mean … you knew that Glee would tackle Xmas music sooner or later, it was bound to happen. The show is still incredibly popular and it’s important for them to tackle all the music they can while the demand is still rabidly high. I’m not a huge fan of Xmas music (except for the soundtrack of A Charlie Brown Christmas Special) so I’m not sure if I’ll need to own this album myself but I know that many folks love Xmas music and, well, this might be right up their alley. After the jump, check out a new promo image and the full tracklist of this Glee Xmas album due out on November 16 …
