Christmas Party

Christmas Party is the thirteenth and final studio album by the American pop rock band the Monkees, released on October 12, 2018, by Rhino Records. Produced mainly by Adam Schlesinger, the album is the Monkees' first to focus on Christmas themes. It follows on the success of their 2016 album Good Times!. The two-year gap is the shortest between albums since the 1969/1970 releases of The Monkees Present and Changes. The album features surviving Monkees Micky Dolenz, Mike Nesmith, and Peter Tork, as well as two posthumous contributions from Davy Jones. The album features a mix of covers of earlier Christmas songs and new holiday tunes written specifically for the album by several Good Times! contributors, including XTC's Andy Partridge, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo and Schlesinger. This is the only Monkees album on which there are no songs written by any member of the Monkees. The Target store exclusive version features two additional tracks, "Riu Chiu" and "Christmas Is My Time of Year", vintage recordings from the group remastered and remixed by original Monkees producer Chip Douglas.
