Latin Christmas, Vol. 1 & 2 were a duo of Christmas albums by Mannheim Steamroller, released on December 18, 1993, and December 20, 1993, respectively. The works featured Latin themes and is not considered canon by neither the fans nor Mannheim Steamroller themselves. It is regarded as the more obscure of all their Christmas albums. Some critics panned the albums as falling flat in comparison with their standard Christmas releases, and such acknowledgement to the lackluster reception is reflected by the fact that these the albums are no longer part of the current American Gramaphone catalog.
