White Christmas Blue is the second Christmas album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It was released on October 7, 2016, by Sony Legacy. The album is produced by Lynn's daughter, Patsy Lynn Russell, and John Carter Cash, the son of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.

White Christmas Blue is Lynn’s first Christmas album in five decades, since her 1966 album Country Christmas. The album is the second in a series of albums, following 2016’s Full Circle, from what is being called the “Cash Cabin Recordings”, an extensive library of new music, overseen by producers Patsy Lynn Russell and John Carter Cash, that has been Lynn’s primary artistic focus in recent years.

White Christmas Blue was met with generally favorable critical reception. Giving the album 7 out of 10 stars, John Paul of Pop Matters said, “There’s a warmth and intimacy to Lynn’s performances of these Christmas standards. By elegantly tapping into each, Lynn…provides fans with a collection that can be returned to time and again with the same heart-warming familiarity of faded photographs and video images of Christmases past.”American Songwriters' Hal Horowitz gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars saying that “Lynn, now in her mid-80s, is also in remarkably spry voice. You never feel she’s going through the motions, even on the most overdone classics.” Walter Tunis, writing for the Lexington Herald Ledger gave a positive review, saying that “Few artists can draw upon an esteemed artistic heritage to such as unassuming degree as Loretta Lynn does on the title track to her new White Christmas Blue album."

The album debuted at No. 35 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, selling 1,800 copies in its first week. The album reached its peak position of No. 26 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart dated December 24, 2016, selling 4,200 copies. As of January 2017, the album has sold 56,760 copies.
