"Because It's Christmas" is the first of three Christmas albums released by singer-songwriter Barry Manilow. The album was a huge success, becoming Manilow's first platinum album since 1984's "". It also began a period in Manilow's career in which he recorded cover albums. Each album would focus on a particular style of music. He continued this pattern until the release of "Here at the Mayflower" in 2001. The album was released in 1990.

This version of Jingle Bells is patterned after the 1943 Bing Crosby/Andrews Sisters version with the girl group Exposé taking The Andrews Sisters' part.
