Christmas Portraits is a studio album by English keyboardist Rick Wakeman.

[1] In March 2019, Wakeman announced upcoming meetings about the possibility of recording a new piano album, with its theme yet to be determined.

[1] Wakeman recorded the album at The Old Granary Studio near Beccles in Suffolk because it houses one of his favourite instruments, a Steinway Model D grand piano.

[3] Wakeman arrived at the studio on the first day of recording to find it decorated with "a moth-eaten Christmas tree" with presents and tinsel.

[4] The album was recorded with Wakeman's longtime engineer Erik Jordan, who is also credited as a co-producer.
