Winter Wonderland is the tenth solo studio album by the English singer-songwriter Paul Carrack, and his first after leaving the supergroup Mike + The Mechanics. It was originally released in 2005 on Carrack's own Carrack-UK label.
This was Carrack's first holiday-themed album, and was recorded in collaboration with the SWR Big Band. The songs are mostly familiar Christmas/winter-themed classics; Carrack covers his own "Beautiful World" as the album's final track.
The album was issued in Europe as A Soulful Christmas, with an altered running order and four additional tracks.
