Ashanti's Christmas is the third studio album and first Christmas album by American singer Ashanti, released on November 18, 2003, by The Inc. Records. The album debuted and peaked at No. 160 on the Billboard 200 and No. 43 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album contained almost an equal number of new songs, written by Ashanti herself, and covers of Christmas classics.
