Christmas in My Heart is the first Christmas album and the fifth studio album by German recording artist Sarah Connor. Released by X-Cell Records on {{Start date|2005|11|18|df=y}}, the album features cover versions of popular Christmas tunes and original material. Connor worked with frequent collaborators Rob Tyger and Kay Denar on the album.
Chart performance
Christmas in My Heart peaked at number six on the Austrian, German, and Swiss Albums Chart.
In 2006 after a baby break Sarah decided to reissue "Christmas in my heart" with a new lead single "Best side of life". "The Best side of life" was featured in Coca-Cola's German Christmas promotional campaign. The single reached #4 on the German charts. The reissue didn't fare as well, however, debuting at #49 on the German charts, peaking at #25. On the same date Sarah also released a concert DVD of her performing the Christmas tunes under the same name as the album.
