Ready to celebrate? It's Christmas week, and we've got five suggestions for your listening pleasure.

Katy Perry, “Cozy Little Christmas,” Capitol Records.

Snuggle up near the fireplace, but don't get too comfy. You just might want to dance while watching Katy Perry's video for "Cozy Little Christmas." Her upbeat holiday ditty is showcased in a whimsical clip that features outrageous costumes, a poolside Santa, reindeers giving massages, Perry frolicking in a giant peppermint martini and more. This song might not end up as a Christmas classic, but the video is a silly (and welcome) gift for Perry's fans.

Keb' Mo,’ “Moonlight, Mistletoe & You,” Concord Records.

Pucker up. Keb' Mo' has released his first holiday album, "Moonlight, Mistletoe & You." The bluesman and folk artist features 10 tracks here; six are brand-new new songs, and all are performed with his usual authenticity and skill. (We especially like "Merry, Merry Christmas" and "Santa Claus Blues.") Gerald Albright and Melissa Manchester make guest appearances, adding extra sparkle to the title track and "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm."

Los Lobos, “Llegó Navidad,” Rhino Entertainment.

Deck the halls with "Llegó Navidad," the new Christmas collection by Los Lobos. "After researching nearly 150 possible holiday song selections for 'Llegó Navidad,' Los Lobos ended up with a holiday song spanning South, Central and North America – each reinvented in the band's own inimitable style." That's what a press release says, but it doesn't begin to cover the instrumental depth and emotional resonance of this record. The rock band from Los Angeles knows exactly what it's doing, and the resulting music is a multicultural treat.

Pink Sweat$ and Donny Hathaway, “This Christmas,” Atlantic Records.

Ready for a pink Christmas? You just might be after listening to the Pink Sweat$ version of Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas." Sweat$, an R&B from Philadelphia, gives the joyful tune a respectful update, adding his vocals to the Hathaway classic. Bonus: A lyric video that's merry and bright.

Shannon LaBrie, “Home From Anywhere,” Moraine Records/LaBrie Records.

Remember Christmas past as you listen to "Home From Anywhere." Nashville singer-songwriter Shannon LaBrie has a lovely voice and a warm way with lyrics, as you'll see on her holiday EP. It features five tracks, including the nostalgic and wistful title song. "This year, I was feeling particularly sentimental about home," LaBrie says in a press release. "I've recently been getting back to my Nebraska roots, rediscovering who I am today and who I was back then. A huge part of this experience has been remembering childhood Christmas, out on the country acreage where I grew up."
