P :no:

It's an early version of the Drifters - circa 1954.

I believe Clyde McPhatter and Bill Pinckney on vocals.

Apologies if that's already common knowledge.

P.S. From the Treadwell Drifters website:

Bill Pinkney was an influential member of the early Drifters from 1953 – 1956, performing on vocals and bass, a blend of nostalgic magic and onstage excitement his distinctive baritone can be heard on such classics as ‘Honey Love,’ ‘Steamboat,’ bass lead on ‘White Christmas’ - the all time best seller for The Drifters. In 1954, ‘Someday’ and in 1955 ‘No Sweet Lovin’ featured Bill Pinkney before he left The Drifters in 1956. Bill died suddenly in 2007 and was the last survivor of the 1953 Drifters.

Among many awards Bill Pinkney was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, the Rhythm & Blues Foundation Award, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, the North & South Carolina Halls of Fame, the Entertainment Industry Living Legend, and an Honorary Doctor in Fine Arts at Carolina University in 2002. At his 75th birthday celebrations he received a Gold Record replica for ‘White Christmas.’

There was definitely a Booker T Christmas album.

I don't have them but maybe a couple of Stax Christmas compilations.

They say there wouldn't have been a Stax label without Rufus and Carla Thomas.

Well here is Carla with a delightful Christmas track.

Beautiful woman - beautiful heart - beautiful voice . . . . . . . . blimey!!
