Chicago XXV: The Christmas Album je devetnajsti studijski album chichaške rock zasedbe Chicago, ki je izšel leta 1998 pri njihovi založbi Chicago Records. Gre za album božičnih skladb, ki je leta 2003 skupaj s šestimi novimi skladbami ponovno izšel pri založbi Rhino Records pod imenom What's It Gonna Be, Santa?.
Album, ki ga je produciral Roy Bittan, sestavljajo pa ga interpretacije znanih božičnih pesmi ter ena avtorska pesem, je bil dobro sprejet v javnosti. Dosegel je 47. mesto ameriške lestvice Billboard 200 in zlat certifikat, na lestvici pa je ostal sedem tednov. Ko je skupina leta 2002 sklenila dolgoletno partnerstvo z založbo Rhino Records, je ta še istega leta ponovno izdala album. Kasneje je prišlo do odločitve, da bo skupina s producentom Philom Ramoneom, ki je s skupino sodeloval pri projektih Hot Streets in Chicago 13, posnela šest dodatnih božičnih skladb in jih skupaj s tem albumom izdala v novi podobi in naslovom What's It Gonna Be, Santa?. Kasneje je v javnost prišla novica, da je skupina sprva nameravala posneti cel nov album prazničnih pesmi, vendar se je iz finančnih razlogov odločila drugače. Kitarist Keith Howland je glavni vokal prvič prispeval pri skladbi »Jolly Old Saint Nicholas«. Album je dosegel 102. mesto lestvice Billboard 200, na lestvici pa je ostal pet tednov.
