The Spirit of Christmas

The first Spirit of Christmas CD was produced in 1993. It was born out of a desire to continue the Myer tradition of philanthropic support in the Community, whilst at the same time providing something special for everyone to enjoy. The proceeds from the sale of the CD go to the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal, which supports many services throughout Australia.

Since the first Spirit of Christmas CD, this Myer initiative has raised over $7.5 million for the Salvation Army.

Over the years, the Spirit of Christmas CD has showcased the best of our Australian artists and musicians and their music provides great warmth and inspiration to people of all ages at Christmas time.

This year’s featured artists include:

  • Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
    Guy Sebastian with the Australian Girls  Choir
  • Jesus O What A Wonderful Child
    Jack Vidgen
  • The Christmas Song
    Anthony Warlow
  • Hark The Herald Angels Sing
    The McClymonts
  • Silent Night
    Damien Leith
  • Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
    Jon Stevens
  • O Holy Night

  • O Come All Ye Faithful

  • Christmas Waltz
    Lee Kernaghan
  • Blue Christmas
    Lanie Lane
  • Sleigh Ride

Each year, the Salvation Army helps more than a million Australians in need and at Christmas time – more than any other time – the emphasis on family can mean that loneliness and financial desperation is even more of an issue.

The Spirit of Christmas CD retails for $19.95 and is available exclusively at Myer stores from November.
