"Snowflakes" is the first Christmas album (fourth overall) by American R&B singer Toni Braxton, released in 2001 (see 2001 in music). Along with the traditional Christmas songs "The Christmas Song" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and a cover of Vince Guaraldi's 1962 song "Christmas Time Is Here", the album features original songs which focus not only on Christmas, but also on love. Braxton was newly married and expecting her first child while making the album.
