"O Holy Night"

After he performed it in concert, a recording of Groban singing "O, Holy Night" was released as a single in 2001 and on the concert album in 2002.

"Believe"

For the 2004 movie The Polar Express, about a young boy who travels to the North Pole and meets Santa Claus, Groban recorded the song "Believe," which was available on the soundtrack. "When it seems that we have lost our way, we find ourselves again on Christmas Day," the lyrics read.

A year later, Groban's first greatest hits album included a Spanish version of "Silent Night," "Noche de Paz."

For the album's 10th anniversary in 2017, Groban released a Deluxe Edition of Noël with four new songs, plus "O, Holy Night" and "Believe." The new additions were:

  1. "White Christmas"
  2. "Christmas Time Is Here"
  3. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"
  4. "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)"

"Do You Hear What I Hear?"

Just this year, Groban returned to the holiday genre, teaming up with the band The War and Treaty to record "Do You Hear What I Hear?"

“I’ve been enraptured by Michael and Tanya’s voices ever since I first heard The War and Treaty. We first met during the charity concert Stand Up for Heroes, and it’s where I learned of their incredible story and service to our country. We pledged that we would find the right song to collaborate on and we’re so excited to sing a Christmas song we’ve all loved since we were little," Groban said of the new recording, per Broadway World. "We wanted to give it a new and fresh interpretation, and I love what came out of it. Singing with them is an experience I’ll always cherish, and hope everyone loves it as much as we did in the studio.”
