I admit I'm a sucker for harmony and acapella groups, especially in Christmas Music.
So far my favorites are the the Roches (not all acapella, but the harmoiny can't be beat), Straight No Chaser, and the King's Singers. I also just downloaded a female acapella group called Aliqua. Their harmony is great.
So do any of you have any suggestions for Acapella Christmas music? I'd love to find some new ones.

i'm going to piggy-back this a bit and if people can add stuff that can be streamed in iTunes, that would be great. They had a fantastic "classic" x-mas music station last year, but it's not there now. It played 'oldies' xmas which was great...

oh, the yule logs are cool:
Yule Logs (though, sorry, it's not acapella...)

The Bobs have a fun christmas album.
Also the male choir Cantus has two albums that are good.

Can you send me a CD or MPO3 files? I'd love to hear it. Barring that, we're in Northern New Mexico, where's the concert?

We have loved "An Ivy League Christmas". It's a compilation of songs from acappella groups at several Ivy League schools. It is out of print, but I did find it listed on eBay:

If you like college acappella singing (some of which is a bit irreverent) many of the groups have Christmas/holiday albums of their own. You can track them down from their own web sites and college bookstores.
Here is a directory of college acapella groups:

and a partial list is on Wikipedia

Good luck.
