Holiday Harmony is the 15th studio album by American folk rock duo America, released by Rhino Records in 2002. Produced by Andrew Gold, it is a Christmas album. The album contains a number of traditional Christmas standards, some of which were recorded with distinct parallels to America's hits. For example, the "la-la-la" refrain in "Winter Wonderland" is strongly reminiscent of "A Horse With No Name", while "White Christmas" uses a guitar strumming style similar to that in "Tin Man". The album contains three new songs: "A Christmas to Remember", "Winter Holidays", and the "Ventura Highway"-themed "Christmas in California". "Winter Wonderland" became a minor hit during the Christmas season in 2002, reaching 26 on the Radio & Records Adult Contemporary chart.

In November 2010, the album was re-released on CD and digital download format as a "Collector's Edition". This edition contained a bonus track, "A Holly Jolly Christmas", produced by Bobby Woods.
