That Holiday Feelin' is a Christmas album by jazz singer, Joe Williams, released by Verve on November 6, 1990.

Critical reception

Scott Yanow of AllMusic writes, "One of the better Christmas jazz sets, Joe Williams is heard in quartets and quintets with pianist Norman Simmons, in several tender duets with pianist Ellis Larkins." AllMusic rated the album 3 stars out of 5.

Ron Givens of Entertainment Weekly rates this album an "A" and writes, "From the world of jazz, singer Joe Williams has delivered a warm and cozy greeting card of an album with That Holiday Feelin’.
