"Home for Christmas" is the thirteenth album by Christian music and pop music singer Amy Grant, released in 1992 (see 1992 in music).

"Home for Christmas" is Amy Grant's second holiday album, the first being 1983's "A Christmas Album". Coming off of the heels of Grant's massively successful 1991 album "Heart in Motion", "Home for Christmas" performed even better than "Heart in Motion" on the Billboard charts, reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the Christian album chart. It was later reissued in 2003 as "20th Century Masters - The Christmas Collection: The Best of Amy Grant".

In 2007, "Home For Christmas" was reissued and digitally remastered by Grant's new record label, EMI/Sparrow Records. The remastered edition is labeled with a green 'gutter' on the CD case and a "Digitally Remastered" logo.
