The Beatles made a Christmas record each year, from 1963 to 1969, but they weren't issued commercially; the records only went out to members of their official fan club. Each featured holiday greetings to the fans, and most had short comedy sketches and nonsense songs. After the Beatles broke up in 1970, these records were compiled into an album, From Then to You, also known as The Beatles Christmas Album.
As solo artists, each of the Beatles issued Christmas records commercially. John Lennon (with Yoko Ono) released "Happy Xmas (War Is Over) in 1971, George Harrison released "Ding Dong: Ding Dong" in 1974, Paul McCartney (with wife Linda and Wings) released "Wonderful Christmastime" and "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reggae" in 1979, and Ringo Starr released "I Wanna Be Santa Claus" in 1999. (This he followed up with a full Christmas album; the only former Beatle to do so.)
"Christmas Time Is Here Again", the theme song to the 1967 Beatles Christmas record, was issued as the B-side to "Free As A Bird" in 1995.

Names of three albums the Beatles produced?
The UK albums made by the Beatles were: Please Please Me With the Beatles A Hard Day's Night Beatles For Sale Help Rubber Soul Revolver Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band The Beatles (double album, commonly known as the White Album) Yellow Submarine Abbey Road Let It Be A number of singles and EPs were also released. In the US, Vee-Jay records and Capitol records reshuffled the Beatles songs to make "Beatles" albums with different mixes of songs.
How do singers make money off their album?
From the sale of there CD's.... (not from illegal downloads.. lol ) Who ever said that is an idiot. Recording artists on major record labels usually make 10% and sometimes 15% of the retail sale price of their album. Sometimes a certain percent of that will be given to the producer of the record. The record label then takes 85 to 90% of each product sold, the label will then recoup the cost of the recording and production cost which they front to the artist. Artists on independent record labels can receive as much as 50% of the product sold at retail price. It isn't uncommon for artists to go into debt to their record label. CDs basically give the artist exposure and is not a revenue source. Artists make most of their money from touring and merchandise which the record label typically isn't involved.
