Christmas with Chet Atkins is a recording by Chet Atkins. It is a Christmas album.
"White Christmas" contains Atkins' first recorded use of chordal harmonics.
Writing for Allmusic, critic Matthew Greenwald wrote "His version of "Silver Bells" is, quite simply, one of the best versions of the standard ever, and possibly one of Atkins' most arresting performances of all time. The album is overall, criminally underrated... Gorgeous." Brian Wahlert or Country Standard Time wrote "This is the perfect background music for sipping hot chocolate in front of the fireplace and falling asleep in the warm glow of the Christmas tree lights while the snow falls outside."
