What was Whitney Houston’s 2003 holiday album called? Whitney Houston’s 2003 holiday album was One Wish: The Holiday Album. Released by Arista Records on November 18, 2003, it was Houston’s only Christmas album and her sixth studio album.

The collection combines traditional carols with contemporary holiday material, including “Joy to the World,” “Who Would Imagine a King,” and “One Wish (for Christmas).” The first two songs had already appeared on The Preacher’s Wife soundtrack in 1996, so the album also revisited part of Houston’s earlier holiday and gospel-associated repertoire.

Houston shared the album’s “Little Drummer Boy” with her daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. The record was produced primarily by Mervyn Warren, with additional work from Troy Taylor, Gordon Chambers, Barry Eastmond, and Houston herself. Its polished R&B and gospel-influenced arrangements drew mixed reviews, with critics divided over the production and Houston’s vocal condition.

One Wish debuted at number 49 on the Billboard 200 and reached number 14 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It later earned RIAA gold certification in January 2018 for shipments exceeding 500,000 units. It is often confused with holiday albums by other major singers, such as Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas or Celine Dion’s These Are Special Times.
