A Very Special Christmas - серия рождественских сборников выпускаемая в
поддержку игр Всемирной Специальной Олимпиады. В 1987 на A&M Records под продюсерством легендарного Джимми Айовина (Леннон, Спрингстин, Dire Straits, U2 и т.д.) был выпущен первый альбом. Альбом принес миллионы долларов для игр. Обложка альбома была выполнена Китом Харингом.
16 января 1998 альбом был удостоверен Четырехкратной Платины Ассоциации Американской Индустрии Звукозаписи
за четыре миллиона проданных копий в Соединенных Штатах. Такой успех не мог быть не подхвачен, альбом стал стартовым для последующей серии сборников.
