Favorite Christmas CD?

Can anyone recommend a new(ish) Christmas CD, preferably by a Catholic choir? Thank you!

St. Paul's Boys' Choir School at Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, comes out with a new CD each year and they are all great.

This from Buckfast Abbey a couple of years ago is very nice with a variety of selections.
The choir at the DC Shrine does an album for their donors every year that you can order.Thanked by 1Nisi -
I just love this one: Prima Luce: A Collection of Christmas Hymns & Chants
Here is one of the tracks on the CD that is so beautiful I listen to it all year: "Gaudete" sung by the men of Prima Luce (2015) -
not choral, and now found at Spotify & possibly as mp3 album, but definitely my fave:
"Mittens for Christmas" by Kirkmount.
No vocals; a trio of brothers on harp, cello, and fiddle, with a few flutes or other misc instruments.
Traditional carols and just a bit o' the Celtic dash. Here is their Wexford Carol, Il Est Ne, and the Christmas Eve Reel:
