The Beatles' Christmas Album was a 1970 compilation album of the Christmas records issued via the Beatles' Fan Club - and made available solely to members of their official fan clubs. The Beatles' Christmas Album was cataloged as (SBC 100).

Each year from 1963 to 1969, the Beatles had recorded a short Christmas message for their fans, comprised of carols, skits, jokes, and thanks to the loyal "Beatle People". Each recording was pressed onto a 7" flexi disc and mailed free to the British members of the Fan Club. In 1970, in the wake of the band's break-up, Apple released the compilation of all seven. Despite the album's popularity with fans (through bootleggers), it has not been officially released since.
