The Disney kids are at it again! Aly & AJ are getting into the Christmas spirit a little early and Vanessa Hudgens has dropped her first album. But are either of these albums fit for your wish-list?

Aly & AJ - Acoustic Hearts of Winter

Sister-act Aly & AJ have released their first Christmas album, Acoustic Hearts of Winter. The album mostly features mellow, traditional versions of Christmas classics like Let it Snow, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and We Three Kings. The songs are well executed but don't really spice up the standard Christmas repertoire. Chances are pretty good that you already have Christmas albums that sound just like this.

The first single from the album, Greatest Time of Year, will be on The Santa Clause 3 soundtrack.

Target will be selling copies of Acoustic Hearts of Winter with We Wish you a Merry Christmas as a bonus track.

Aly & AJ have another Christmas song - Jingle Bell Rock - on the Radio Disney Jingle Jams album.

Vanessa Hudgens - V

In her debut album, Vanessa Hudgens offers up a variety of pop genres (and you thought the V stood for Vanessa!) with mixed results. Most of the album is sweetly charming but it occasionally crosses the line into downright saccharine (Whatever Will Be, for example). Vanessa's vocal talents are undeniable, however, and the album's feel-good appeal is hard to resist.

Vanessa will be promoting the album on tour with The Cheetah Girls.

The album has been released with two Target bonuses, one Wal-Mart bonus track and one Best Buy bonus track.

The first music video from the album, Come Back to Me, premiered on the Disney Channel in August 2006.
