It's here again, that time of year when everyone is dashing through the malls, gift shops and cyber-stores looking for that perfect gift for their loved ones, while subjected to the cookie-cutter-same-old-same-old Christmas songs being piped through through the store speakers into your oh, so sensitive ears. Don't resort to wearing ear plugs, just get your bored auricles over to a music store and snatch up one of the newest and hottest Christmas CDs of 2010. This list should help.

Here's the 5 Hottest Holiday Music CDs of 2010

1. The Gift by Susan Boyle- With a mix of new and old, Susan's beautiful voice will definitely put you in the mood for the holidays without making your ears bleed.

2. Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album- The cast of Glee is bringing Christmas to you in a whole new way with brand new holiday songs that will really pump you up and put a spring in your step. Definitely not the same-old Christmas songs you're used to, and the old classics are redone in the unique way only Glee cast can do.

3. O Holy Night (CD/DVD) -Jackie Evancho, the 10-year-old soprano prodigy whose performances on "America's Got Talent" won the hearts of millions and brought her into the national spotlight, has signed with SYCO/Columbia Records, and sings like a seasoned operatic master.

4. Noel -by Josh Groban, his flawless lyrical baritone will put you in the holiday mood the second the CD starts. With old favorites done the Groban way, and new takes on classics will have you misty eyed and giving everything you own to the homeless. That's just how he rolls.

5. A Christmas Cornucopia by Annie Lennox. A Christmas Cornucopia is no sweetly packaged selection box. As befits its title, it offers an abundance of songs - drawn from British, French and German traditions - and a host of ideas. This CD is absolutely beautiful and not your regular Christmas album. Annie's take on the holidays is a treat for anyone looking for something different.
