Baker only returned to recording last year, after a decade-long break, but she's still the first port of call for those after a bit of jazz posh. Her first Christmas album is exactly the ticket for that pre-coma moment late on December 25, when all you can face is something cool and easily digestible.

Polished by her husky alto, the likes of O Come, All Ye Faithful and God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen are the aural equivalent of cocoa, and that's a compliment. Her own Moonlight Sleighride is a touch of the hard stuff, once it's clear that it's about Anita's intention of having a bonding session in the snow. A bebop version of My Favourite Things winds things up: with not an ounce of filler, you might even want to listen to it again, come January.
